 The great number of species printed in Italics^ which do 

 not belong to the German flora, in a strict sense, but to 

 that of the shores of the Mediterranean, may prove how 

 much the vegetation, even of Pola, differs from ours. The 

 species of the lowest classes are more similar to the vege- 

 tation of our German limestone tracts. Thus we observe 

 of the fern species, — Scolopendrium officinarum, Adiantum 

 Capillus Veneris, Asplenium viride, Pteris aquilina ; of 

 mosses and lichens, — Hypnum compressum, splendens, 

 tamariscinum, abietinum, cupressiforme, rugulosum, Dicra- 

 num purpureum, Barbula tortuosa, Tortula apiculata, 

 Lecidea athroocarpa, rupestris, Parmelia murorum, phy- 

 sodes, glauca. 



Note 2. 



Cynomm'ium coccineum is said to be also found in several 

 places on the coasts of Spain and Morocco, and resembles 

 in its form the tropical parasites — Aphyteia Hydnora, 

 Cynomorium cayennense Balanophora, and the Langsdorjffia 

 Jiypogdea^ which we discovered at Rio de Janeiro, of which 

 we shall speak in the sequel.
