372 Aster History; ANGUILLARA 
in that century to the Aster Amellus of Linnaeus for the honor of 
identification with the Aster of the Greeks ; yet to be considered 
in connection with its description by Lobel, and its early selection 
as Aster by Rondelet and by Clusius. 
Anguillara's article on Aster is as follows, translated from the 
Italian of his Semplici p. 284, where it occurs in the latest of his 
letters, ‘‘ Parere Quarto-decimo,” dated 1560. 
the sense of nutgrass ? 7. ¢., plant bearing bur-like heads. (C ooxapoy, name 
of mula oculus Christi, Ae Sibthorp.) The magnificent iastrated edition of the 
Flora Graeca (Astor Libr.) figures it under name of Buphthalmum spinosum, showing 
six large heads with short yellow rays and with long star- like stift involucral leaves, 
radiately projecting and recurving a little. —But it was not till 1560 that Anguillara 
wrote of Pallenis in his Pareri as the same with Aster Atticus of Dioscorides. 
1550. Clusius comes to sojourn with Rondelet at Montpellier and finds Pallenis 
abundant there, which Rondelet (and others there before him ?) identify with the clas- 
sic Bubonium, 7. ¢., ster Amellus L. 
1561 lusius finds the a Nig of Bubonium and the name Sodas are cur- 
rently aa in Spain to Pallen 
1560-1. Gesner, writing this winter his De hortis Germaniae, printed 1561, names 
Aster pais as the plant we now know 
it in its native habitat, his slight travels seeming not to have ever extended so far. His 
knowledge of Padlents was eae due to his exten 
sive correspondence, and may 
have come to him thro 
of Anguillara’s age circulated epistles or Pareri ; 
or may perhaps have come ee Rondelet or Pen 
1561, Anguillara’s Semplici and Geena $ De ‘nel both published this year, 
name the Pallenis as ‘‘ Aster Atticus verus. 
. Matthioli introduces a figure of this Pallenis into the margin of his Aster- 
chapter as ‘‘ Aster Atticus alter, without text or other comment; evidently a n_after- 
thought and doubtless an unacknowledged debt to Anguillara. Perhaps Motta had 
already inserted the figure in his (unseen) 1562 edition; but not earlier, as it is lacking 
in the next previous edition of 1560. This figure was Sarre copied, and repre- 
sented Aster Atticus in Lobel’s Odservationes, 1576, and in Bodaeus a Stapel’s Theo- 
phrastus, 1644.—Dalechamp, 1587, also retained ae s name iP Aster Atticus alter 
for Pallenis.
