USBECQ, or e es, the celebrated 
Flemish traveller and ambassador, was born 
. Bousbecque * in Flanders in 1522, and he died 
n 1592 near that place, after a useful and 
Mata life of seventy years. To gardeners 
ially his memory should be an interesting 
Lilac, the Tulip, and the Syringa. So muo 
the first of these associated with the man who 
first introduced it to the west, that Bernardin 
de Saint Pierre proposed to change its name to 
Busbequia.” He was also most helpful and

Jatter he obtained many rare plants, 
first Tulip roots from Coniak ade impo 
Europe, these having arrived in Vienna in 1808

acoount of which is given in his Turkish Letters. 
At Buda-Pesth he tells us the janissaries (a sort 
of military-police force) brought him nosegays 
of Hyacinth and Narcissus flowers, as an excuse 
for begging ! 
At Philippopolis he saw Rice in the marshes 
growing like Wheat, and after stopping at 
Adrianople, he set out on the last stage for a 
s not far distant. As
