Crausius’ SPANISH JOURNEY 407 
Clusius’ “ Histoire’”’ contained two Aster descriptions, his 
“ Aster Atticus” (= A. Amellus L.) and his “ Tripolium” (= A. 
Tripolium L.); fide C. Bauhin. 
With the “ Histoire” Clusius printed a maiden work of his own, 
his “ Petit Recueil,’ both in folio and quarto, according to Pritzel, 
and forming the last 35 pages of the quarto ‘ Histoire,” contain- 
ing, as Clusius says, descriptions of certain gums, and liquors, 
woods, fruits, and aromatic products, collected in part from the 
“ Herbier aleman”’ [Cruydeboeck ], in part from other authors, 
ancient and modern. 
In 1563-4 Clusius made two journeys to Augsburg; return- 
ing, he traveled through Belgium, France, Spain and Portugal, from 
the Pyrenees to Gibraltar, Valencia to Lisbon; in 1 564 he was in 
Lisbon observing the Dragon’s-blood tree in bloom ; in April, 1565, 
he was making observations in Valencia ; and his immense activity 
in this journey arouses the more wonder, as Meyer remarks, when 
we remember that in the neighborhood of Gibraltar through a 
fall from his horse he had broken his right arm. The results of 
the journey included his Aster Alticus supinus (= Asteriscus mart- 
timus, Moench) which he found in Castile—“ sponte in quibusdam 
Castelle locis”’ These results were published in his Rariorum... 
per Hispanias at the Plantin press at Antwerp in 15 76, 11 years 
later ; there was too much new for immediate determination or 
publication, and Clusius always took time for mature digestion of 
his novelties before he published. Exigencies of the printing house 
and the absence of Clusius from Antwerp to Vienna for the three 
t was also issued with fuller title in quarto the same year by the same house, if 
Pritzel is correct, who gives the title as ‘ Histoire des plantes, en laquelle est contenue 
la description entiére des plantes, c’est a dire leurs especes, forme, noms, temperament,
