The mountains above the village of Yalia in the western part of Cyprus consist of a weather- worn igneous rock, cut up by deep erosion-valleys. The draining streams are lined by stately plane-trees together with fresh gi'eeu myrtle and oleander. In the shadier nooks Ptendhim (uiniVinum thrives as well as it does at Kykko, often growing to more than a man's height. In its company I found Sutiiyoia ndgnris, which appears under similar conditions in various parts of the Troodos chain. Most of the species mentioned above are pei'cnnial. A shade-seeking vegetation consisting mainly id' annual species is usually met with on the steep, damp earth-walls in the dark and narrow mountain-clefts so common in the island. The following list of plants, collected 20 May on a peipendiculai- earth-wall in a ravine just below Khulu village (district of Paphos), may serve as a fair example of this vegetation: SelagineUa denti- ciiliitd (abundant), Cnmpnnula Erinus (fairly numer- ous). Chlora ijerfoliata (copious), Alehemilla arrensis (fairly numerous), Geranium Rohertianum (copious), Parietaria officinalis subsp. judaica (copious), Filaijo gcrmanica (fairly numerous), Asterolinnm Linum. stdlatum (fairly numerous), Galium murale (fairly numerous). Wherever there is an afflux of water (kmipanula Erinus and Filayo yermanica disappear aiul are replaced by Samolus and Adiantum.
