It was said by Desfontaines to grow in Tunise, but the North-African plant, which Battandiek (Fl. d'Alger. Dicot. 292), Murbeck (Contrib. fl. Tun. I, 82) and most authors have identified with 0. vniosa Desf., is in fact specifically different from it. This was at first pointed out by Bornmuller and DuRAND (1. c); specimens of the African plant (0. hypargyrea Boiss, subsp. kahylica Bornm.) I have seen in the herbarium of the Hofmuseum in Vienna (leg. Choulette and Reboud) and in the Herbier De Candolle at Geneva (leg. A. Hénon). Very probably Des- fontaines' statement regarding the native countiy of our plant is erroneous and has been caused by some confusion of labels. As 0. venosa was already collected in Cyprus in 1787 by Labil- LARDIÉRE [Vidi specim. in Herb. Boiss. 1], it is vei-y probable, that it has existed in the herbaria of Paris, when Desfontaines wrote his "Flora Atlantica". As will be seen from Fig. 35 a—b, the fruits of 0. venosa vary considerably as to the armature of their margins. In most cases the margin is provided with a series of several short.
