The Gardeners' chronicle : a weekly illustrated journal of horticulture and allied subjects. f 8 or 10 miles to the east of its foot are the Hammam or hot springs of El-Emf—salt-water—and said to be of great efficacy in rheumaticcomplaints, but quite without any of the civilised blossom, while Cistus fastigiatus, with its small whiteflowers, had hardly begun. Tulipa sylvestris in adwarf form was not uncommon, more sweetly scentedthan I ever remarked it. Why do not florists, bycrossing with this species, attempt to add the onlychatin wanting to our garden Tulip ? I met withLinaria simplex on a level shoulder immediatelybelow the two peaks of the summit, and Ranunculus greater than it generally affects. From these samerocks I secured Ruscus Hypophyllum, and a largeScrophularia, perhaps trifoliala, but I was unfortu-nately not able to reach the root-leaves, whose shapeis so important in determining the species. Anotherday I took the railroad which runs westward parallelto the coast, and which in a few months will locompleted to its junction witl) the French lines of. appliances for using them. Immediately on leavingthe baths I met with great masses of a Cyclamenhaving white petals and a rosy eye, which from itsdeeply serrate leaves would seem to be latifolium ofSibthorp. At an elevation of 300 or 400 feet I cameupon bushes of the famous Thuja articulata,but on the whole mountain I found nothing largerthan a bush of this or any other tree. A handsomeshrubby Erica, E. multiflora, was nearly out of chasrophyllus was common up to this height. Onthe steeper slope above was a quantity of a largeRanunculus, perhaps spicatus, and an Orchis,principally with white flowers, but identical, I think,with the common O. mascula. Close to the top wasAnthyllis Vulneraria, the variety with crimson flowers;and on perpendicular rocks, quite out of reach, a largewhite flowered Brassica, probably no other thanB. oleracea, though the distance from the sea is rather Algeria.
