JdriatiCy and the Mountains of Carniolay Carinthiay ^c. 
stadt at Untersberg, and, according to Mr Von Braune, the 
walls of the fortification at Werten, which it covers like ivy. 
The plant here is found on stony Karst as a bush, and like a 
tree in the Chesnut wood, resembling in height H. Frangula^, 
We have made a third discovery, which pleases us well, name- 
ly, that the supposed Rhus has changed itself into the Turpen- 
tine Tree (Pistacia Terehinihus). We did not expect this 
rarity to be so near. We would here recommend to the atten- 
tion of the dendrologist these two species of trees, and to the 
florist the Silene noctijlora ; we are sorry that we could get nei- 
ther ripe seed nor perfect fruit. The botanical character of 
this southern part of Germany now begins to disclose itself, 
and it is quite striking how much two of the natural orders of 
plants predominate here, namely, the Leguminosoe and Orchi- 
dea, OrcJiideSy Cytisi, Genista^ Loti^ Trifoliay Lathyri^ and 
MedicagmeSy are everywhere seen in great profusion and va- 
riety ; and all the species of Orchis which are scattered through- 
out Germany may here be seen growing in a couple of fields. 
The genus Euphorbia here also produces very many species, of 
which but four appear in the middle of Germany. Thus, like- 
wise, the families of Lahiatoe^ Crucferrcy Compositm^ are espe- 
cially natives of this country, and you cannot make an excur- 
sion without finding a considerable variety of them. It is likewise 
worth observing, that many common plants of the central parts 
of Germany are not to be seen here, but that their place is al- 
most always supplied by others of a similar, or nearly allied 
genus. For instance, we find here
