Theoiloros and besides in several other places on the island. JunqKrus phoenicea is also found in other maquis- soeieties, where not this, but other species of shrubs, mentioned above, are the most predominant. As most of the other species of the g'enus, .hmiperus phoenleea has usually the form of a shrub, with its stems dividing from near the ground, and with tortuous branches Not infiequontly, however, real dendri- form specimens are found with erect, undivided stems, and with rather regularly shaped crowns. However, the thickest stems have at the ground hardly a greater diameter than ca. 20 cm., and the shrubs rarely reach more than a man's height. Nevertheless, the average height for certain tracts in Valia, near to the village of Hag. Theodores (cfr. below) may be judged to be ca. or 4 m. J. phoenleea has, as is known, quite small, scalelike leaves, and though the copses at times may be rather dense, the sunrays can therefore penetrate to the very ground under the shrubs. According to E. ') the flore- scence of J. phoenicca in Cyprus takes place from the middle of November till the middle of December. 1) E. Hartmann, Die Wahler Jer lusel Cyperu, p.
