38 FLORA OF ASSYRIAN MONUMENTS. 



The lotus has some connection with this Flora, as 

 it is found as a border ornament in the pavement of 

 the Palace of Sardanapalus, but I prefer leaving the 

 lotus to be discussed after the sacred trees. 

 The plants treated of then, are : 



The Date Palm — Phccmx dactylifera. 



The Vine — Vitis vimfera. 



The Pomegranate — Punica gmnatiun. 



The Fig — Fiats Carica. 



The Banana — Musa sapienium, or other species. 



The Melon — Cuaunis melo. 



The Pine Tree — Pimis Bmtia. 



The Reed — Amndo donax. 



The Lily — Lilinm candiduni. 



A Composite Plant — Hierachium pannosum. 



The Baobab (?) — Adajisonm dis'itata.
