Parkinson’s later 7heatrum Botanicum, 1640, belongs to a dif- 
ferent sphere; mentioning 20 Asters, pages 128-132, of which 
four are yellow-flowered American allies, and two others are Amer- 
ican but of doubtful identity. Parkinson in 1640 was now follow- 
ing Lobel in figuring Pad/enis as true Aster Atticus, although re- 
marking that some were latterly claiming “the purple marigold” 
as the true original.
