species of Aster from 1576 to 1650, then as a species of Conyza, 
of Chrysanthemum in 1699, Asteroides in 1703, Asteriscus 1720 ; 
finally finding rest in Linnaeus’ Buphthalmum of 1737 and 1753, 
being still known as Buphthalmum grandiflorum L.  Gesner pub- 
lished his Conizoides as one of a number of brief independent 
descriptions appended to his De hortis Germaniae of 1561—in 
which work appeared his Aster Atticus verus (=Buphthalmum L., 
now FPallenis spinosa Cassini). 
That Gesner entitled it simply Conizoides in his brief work of 
1561, where this formed one of a series of fragments hastily printed, 
gives in itself no mature and deliberate expression of his classifica- 
tion for it, and perhaps in his too short and crowded life he never 
decided that subject. What it does indicate is simply that he 
recognized in it a plant intermediate between typical Aster and 
typical Conyza, a range of plants of multifarious diversity, for the 
next century alternately vibrating between Aster and Conyza in 
classification. 
It appeared in Caspar Bauhin’s Pinax, Basle, 1623, as his 8th species of yellow 
Aster, by name of 8 Aster luteus angustifolius, without description, but with reference 
to its occurrence in Lobel, Dalechamp and Caesalpi 
At least ten years before this, Caspar Bauhin or thought that he recognized Ges- 
ner’s plant while collecting in the Alps about Basle, and had sent it to his brother 
Jean (who died in 1613) under the name of Aséer — Gesneri. The specimen 
sent seems to have been one of /nu/a spiracifolia L., and after being duly mentioned 
in Jean Bauhin’s writings before his death, 1613, finally reached publication in 1650.
