rato of Tournefort by the name of integrifolia, from the 
Ansurus Andrachne of Linnzus, of which it had previously 
been the undisputed synonym. The main distinctions he 
relies on are, that the leaf of integrifolia is rounded at 
the end with a short central point, that the bractes are 
longer than the flowers, which have exceedingly short 
edicles, and that the plant had been found only on 
Mount Ida, in Candia; circumstances that do not be- 
long to the plant before us, and which may really prove 
to be solid marks of its specific difference. But M. de 
Lamarck has, besides this, detached from Andrachne the sy- 
nonym adduced by Linnzus from Clusius's work, and trans- 
ferred it to integrifolia. In this he seems to err in the face, 
of his own showing, for none of the features peculiar to his 
plant are to be perceived either in the figure or description 
found in that work; both which, as far as they go, coincide 
with the Linnean species. Professor de Jussieu is per- 
suaded that he remembers formerly to have seen Tourne- 
fort’s plant in the Jardin du Roi at Paris, from whence, 
however, he says it has long since disappeared. 
Andrachne is native of most parts of the Levant. M. 
Marschall von Bieberstein, in the Flora taurico-caucasica, 
says that he found it growing on the sides of rocks about 
most of the maritime villages of the Crimea; where it -- 
varies with a somewhat villous subserrate foliage, and with 
one that is perfectly smooth and entire, and is called by the 
inbabitants Jaban-Dephne or Wild Bay-tree. ' 
A handsome evergreen shrub, growing sometimes near 
8 feet high, with a stem 3 inches in diameter. The bark 
quite smooth, and in the winter of a fine red colour; in the 
spring the epidermis peels off: spontaneously. The berries; 
which do not ripen here; are said to be round, like those of 
4. Unedo, or Common Strawberry-tree, and about the size 
of a Raspberry; the germen, however, is pubescent; which 
is not the case in Unedo. ' The branclies are irregular. It 
survives our common winters in tlie open air when the plant 
is become woody ; but should be raised under cover, where 
it must remain at least four or five years before it is planted 
in the open border; and then ought to be placed in a war! 
sheltered position, and dry soil. | MAN
