98 THE TREES AND SHRUBS [LECT. 



montana, which is found amongst the mountains 

 of Crete. 



It is the same as the Asperula calalrica of L., 

 the Sherardia foetida of Lamarck, but it cannot be 

 identified with any classical plant. 



CONYZA. 



Four shrubby species are noticed by Sibthorp, 

 one of which, C. Candida, he suspects to be the 

 "ApKTiov of Dioscorides, but the description given 

 of the latter hardly bears out this conjecture. 



SANTOLINA. 



Several species of this evergreen under-shrub are 

 mentioned in Sibthorp as occurring in Greece, and 

 one of them, Santolina maritima, is supposed by 

 Sprengel to be the Gnaphalium chamcezelon of Pliny u , 

 which he describes as having soft white leaves, and 

 as being used as flocks for beds. Sibthorp speaks 

 doubtfully as to its being the YvafydXiov of Dios- 

 corides. Santolina chamcecyparissus-\ a common 

 shrub in Italy, often met with in our gardens under 

 the name of Lavender Cotton. 



Dumolin endeavours to identify this plant with 

 the IloAiOf of Theophrastus v and Dioscorides x , 

 and the Polion of Pliny y . 



ARTEMISIA. 



Of this Sibthorp mentions one frutescent species 

 only as occurring in Greece, namely, A. arborescens, 



u Lib. xxvii. 61. v Lib. i. c. 16. 



1 Lib. iii. c. 114. T Lib. xxi. c. 20, 21, 84.
