Mr. Loppices received the feeds of this plant from Mount 
Caucafus, under the name of CurysaNnTHEMuM rofeum, and 
we find fpecimens of the fame from that country in the Bankfian 
colleGtion with this appellation. It is however doubtlefs the 
coccineum of WiLLpENOw, as we have fatisfied ourfelves by a 
Comparifon of the Caucafian fpecimens with one gathered by 
OURNEFORT himfelf, and preferved in the Bankfian Her- 
arlum. When in vigour, its ftems are fometimes a foot and 
half high, and more upright than in our drawing.

name, he gives rather a fevere criticifm upon this author for 
1s oftentatious ufe of the term orientalis fo conftantly re- 
Peated ; in which, to fhow the impropriety of ufing this name, 
“s well as that of dyxantinus, conflantinopolitanus, and fuch 
ike, he remarks that he has obferved in Byzantium moft a
