The author remarks the Andalusian or Spanish-European character of the vegetation. Palms, Bananas, Cactaceæ, the Canarian shrubby Euphorbiaceæ and Madeiran Compositæ, Labiatæ, and Cruciferæ, are wanting. Trees are absent from the coast region, which is more or less clothed with Retama monosperma, Pistacia lentiscus, dwarf Argania, &c. Peganum harmala abounds on the shore.

A catalogue is given of the 177 Phanerogamous plants observed. Of these, one-fourth are common to Mogador, Algeria, Britain, the Canaries, and Madeira; two-thirds are common to Mogador and Algeria. Critical notes are appended on certain of the species.
