The genus to which the striking and brilliantly coloured 
parasite now depicted belongs was discovered by Tourne- 
fort in Armenia in 1701, and dedicated by him to the 
family of the distinguished Chancellor of France, Louis 
Phelipeaux, Count of Pontchartrain who, as the Secre- 
tary of State in charge of the Academies, moved his 
Sovereign in 1699 to send Tournefort to the Levant.
