THE CLASSICAL PLANTS OF SICILY. 127 
70. Santolina rosmarinifolia.— Rosemary-leaved Santolina. 
Stackhouse supposes that the &8zéravv, Theoph. lib. vi. cap. 
l, signifies this species. Dioscorides mentions two kinds 
Orv, x«l ager, lib. ii. cap. 29; the first of which Sprengel 
refers to S. Chamecyparissus, and the latter to Artemisia 
Abrotanum. 
7l. Atractylis gummifera, Pers. (Acarna gummifera, 
Willd.) Gum-bearing Atractylis. It is probably the årgaxruaie, 
Diosc. lib. iii .cap. 107, and of Theoph. lib. ix. cap. 1. Several 
plants of this family retain nearly the ancient name árgexruX, 
and &reax*vós. — Sibth. 
Theocritus, Zdyl. iv. v. 54, mentions rai 'rgaxruXAMóec, or 
ral arpuururAioes. 
72. Carlina corymbosa.—Cluster-flowered Carline. 
This plant is the XejuuAtw» A:xbe, Theoph. lib. ix. cap. 
13, according to Sprengel; and probably that of Diosc. lib. 
ili, cap. 10. But Xawaidzwv miñas, of Theophrastus, Sprengel 
and Stackhouse refer to Carthamus corymbosus, which is still 
called in Greece Xasaidto.—Sibth. And I would consider 
the species of Diosc. lib. iii. cap. 11, to be the same. 
13. Centaurea Centaurium.— Great Centaury. 
Kevrateov, Theoph. lib. i. cap. 19, secundum Stackhousium. 
74. Carthamus ceruleus.— Blue Carthamus.— Bot. Mag. 
vol. xlix. t. 2293. 
XdAxews, Theoph. lib. vi. cap. 3. according to Sprengel. 
5. Onopordum Illyricum.—lIllyrian Cotton- Thistle. 
It is now named Aycidougéxavda in Greece, according to Dr. 
Sibthorp. Either to this species, or to O. Acanthium, which 
is also a native of Sicily, I would refer the áxew« of Theo- 
critus, Zdyl. iv. v. 50, and Idyl. vi. v. 15. It is evidently 
a syngenesious plant, for Theocritus mentions the dry pappus, 
Tol xatu) Čir. 
ERICEÆ. 
76. Erica arborea— Tree Heath.—Fl. Gree. vol. iv. tab. 
351. 
Itake this to agree with ége/x,—Diose. lib. i. cap. 118,
