Hist. Nat. des Iles Canaries par M. M. Barker-Webb & Berthelot. (Dr Hooker's Copy) (Geograph. Bot)

p. 4 most of the plants belong to Europe: genera, but more woody & arborescent - many peculiar genera; some peculiar divisions of genera "d'un facies remarquable - some have African character some fewer are American

p 5. the map of plants of each isld composed of plants common to the Arch, but not in the same individual proportions: several most striking examples of this. - for the geography of islands much diversified.

*plants on little isld of Graciosa consist of 29 species collected on one day, belonging to 14 families. A variety of Atriplex found only on this island.

p. 6 / 17 plants found only in Lanzarote & Fuertaventura & not in rest of group. (all these 17 are not plants peculiar to the Canaries)

p. 7. The more one advances to the middle of the group the flora become richer in Canary-species (seems to consider Teneriffe centre)

I have somewhere seen that certain trees on coast of Brazil are quite low, on coast, where exposed to sea-winds - analogous to mountain tops - some argument of mine about trees on mountain summits not good.

p 8. Canary isld may be divided into two groups in their Floras. In western group several "peculiar" species have most confined habitats. - some species occur on only two distant habitats I suspect these are not the peculiar species (- a Statice confined to an islet in front of Garachico).

p. 12. sea-loving plants on the coast. At Teneriffe on front slope plants are African character.

p 16 Argemone of Mexico grows near Garachico

p 17. half the same species grow on the ruins of the Coloseum & on the buildings of Oratara & Laguna: the other half are congenerous.

p 22 to 37 (marked)

p. 50

58 to 69 Hence it wd appear that plants can all stand a more temperate climate, but why do not the proper temperate plants out-breed the Alpine?
