Fuchs’ Second Aster or Fulicaria 
In the editions with figures only (1545, Basle; 1540, Basle, 
etc.) Fuchs entitles his figure “ Aster Atticus purpureus,’+ as if 
Fuchs was now perceiving the existence of more than one Aster 
Atticus. Citations indicate that in some subsequent edition he 
must have definitely named a second species, cited as the Aster 
Atticus luteus of Fuchs, by Lobel, Ods. 187, in 1576, who repro- 
duces and modifies Fuchs’ accompanying { figure, which represents 
Pulicaria dysenterica Gaertner, 
His name, however, is usually associated only with the first 
Plant, Aster Atticus purpureus of Fuchs, which became the Aster 
Italorum et Fuchsii of Clusius, the Aster Atticus Fuchsii§ of Jean 
Bauhin’s Marginal notation, the Aster Atticus Fuchsii flore puniceo 
of Benedictus Aretinus;§ and which is our familiar Aster 
Amellus 1,

The Botanicon by Theodorus Dorstenius,** printed 1540 by 
Egenolph at Frankfort, was a rearrangement of the plants of the 
ancients. The plants follow chiefly in the same chapters as in 
Dioscorides, rearranged alphabetically, with figures. His chapter 
on Aster Atticus, p. 157,++ does not appear under that name but as 
De Inguinali ; an abstract is as follows:

familiar in nature to Fuchs from some source; as perhaps at Basle where he printed 
first ; or Ingolstadt where he had studied ; possibly gnly from the Jena plants —
