most convenient for watering ships', where a 
river empties itself into the Gulph. Here we 
fomid the ruins of several buildings ^ situate in 
pools of stagnant water and most unwholesome 
fens. The sands were covered with exceedingly 
rare plants. To add to the extraordinary allure- 
ments presented by the coast of Macri, it is pre- 
eminently distinguished by the interest it offers 
to the botanist. We found no less than eleven 
new species, besides many almost unknown, 
during our short examination of the place. The 
new-discovered plants alone will be mentioned 
in aJYote^; and the more general List reserved 
(1 ) See the Vignetle to this Chapter. 
(2) Perhaps the remains of Pinara, mentioned by Pliny. ' Ultra 
par sinus priori : ibi Pinara, et quae Lyciam finit Telmessus." Plin. 
Hist. Nat. lib.\. e. 27. torn. I. p. 371. L. Bat. 1G35. 
(?,) I, A non-descript shrubby species oi Eupliorhia, with slender 
flexuose shining shoots, and pointed leaves, about two-thirds 
of an inch long, of a lanceolate form upon the lower part of the 
branches, but gradually becoming more oval as they ascend.; 
the rays of the umbel nearly of the same length with the invo- 
lucre ; the divisions of the cal3'x very short, rounded, and entire ; 
the petals toothed, nearly wedge-shaped. We have named it 
Euphorbia iwucronata. Eupliorbia fruticosa, glabra; foliis 
ovato-lanceolatis tmicronaiia integerrimis ; foUolis involiicri ova- 
libus: involucelli ohovatis, ititegerrimis petulis dcntatis ; capsulis 
verrucosis glahris. 
II. A small non-descript species of Trigonella, with prostrate 
pubescent stems, from three to five inches ^Dng ; the largest 
leaflets measuring only a quarter of an inch. The pods very 
narrow, hanging down, with the points again turned upwards, 
like a bunch of fish-hot ks. Wc have named it TKiG0Ni2Li,A
