the righter,and is the better liked by Pliny, Lth. 

 13.cap.22. At this day in Candy where it plen- 

 tifully growes, it is called Adracla. It is rather a 

 ihrub than a tree^elighting in rocky and moun- 

 tainous places,and keeping greenc Winter and 

 Summer, hauing leaues fo like thofe of Bayes, 

 that they are diftinguifhable only by the fmell, 

 which thefe are deftitute of. The barke of the 

 bole and all the branches is fo fmooth, red, and 

 fhining.that they fhew like branches of Coral ; 

 this barke crackes or breaks off in Summer, and 

 pills off m thin fleakes ; at which time it is nei- 

 ther red nor fhining,but in a mean betweene yel- 

 low and afh-colour. It hath floures twice in the 

 yearc like as the Arbutus or Strawberry tree, and 

 that fo like it, that you can fcarfc know the one 

 from the other , yet this differs from it in that it 

 groweth onely in the mountaines, hath not the 

 leaues jagged, neither a rough barke : the wood 

 hereof is very hard,and fo brittle that it will not 

 bcnd,and they vfe it to burn and to make whorls 

 for their womens fpindles. Theofhrtfm reckons 

 vp this tree amongft thofe which dye not when 

 their barks are taken off, and are alwaies grecne,
