ASTERS OF PENNY AND RAUWOLF 365 
1565, from his travels in Syria, etc., fide Schmiedel, 1 : xxxiii. This 
figure probably originated with Camerarius, the Nuremberg phy- 
sician, and may have been from a painting by Jungermann, who 
was engaged in that work upon Gesner’s plants at Nuremberg 
from 1584 to 1588. 
Gesner's Chief Contributions to Aster Knowledge. — Either 
through his direct efforts or as their result soon after his death, 
Gesner became authority for the 5 different ‘Asters ’’ just men- 
tioned. 
The idea of plurality of species in the genus seems to have 
been directly and clearly brought forward first by him. 
He was first to have small details drawn separately, as the seed 
and disk-flower. 
He was, 1561, one of the first to adopt Padlenis spinosa Cassini 
as the true Aster Atticus; some who anticipated him in this being 
Anguillara in Greece and Italy, Rondelet, Pena, and the young 
Clusius in southern France. 
He was, in his plant Conizoides, the first to describe and pub- 
lish, 1561, the plant known for much of the next two centuries as 
Aster conizoides Gesneri; t. e., Buphthalmum grandifiorum L. 
LXXIV. ANGUILLARA 
_ Aloysius Anguillara, coupled with Cesalpino by gnigrecictieia 
“two of the soundest critics in the knowledge of plants that she 
age produced,” was born it is supposed, at the village of the same 
hame, in the Papal States, about 1500. His first name also appears 
under its equivalents Aluigi, Luigi, Louis, Aloysio, Ludovic, etc. 
He is not to be confused with Giovanni Andrea dell’ Anguillara, 
the contemporary poet, 1517-1565, who is better known to the 
biographers,
