DISTRICT OF TROAS. I53 
We crossed the whole district, in different 
directions, not less than seventeen times; but 
have preferred giving the Reader the result of 
our observations in a continued narrative, rather 
than in the exact order of their occurrence ; as 
this must necessarily have introduced super- 
fluous and wearisome repetitions^. We took o^'^en-^-

To the west lies Tenedos; and in the same line,

deserve notice. True Lion's Leaf, Lenntice Leontopetalum, flourished 
in different parts of the plain. The blossoms are yellow, with a tinge 
of green, in large leafy bunches ; the leaves almost like those of a 
Pseotiy ; and the root a bulb, resembling that of the Cyclamen, but 
larger. This curious and beautiful plant is not yet introduced into 
any English garden. Also the Cluster-headed Club Rush, Scirpus 
Holoschcenus. This is found in England, upon the coast of Hampshire, 
and in Devonshire. Solitary-flowered Trefoil, Trifoliuvi uniflorum. 
Dwarf rayed Thistle, Atractylis humilis. Beardless horned Cumin, 
Hypecoum imberhe, described by Dr. Smith in the Prodromus to 
Dr. Sibthorpe's Flora Grcpca. A non-descript horned Cumin, with very 
sharp leaves, and much-branched flower-stalks. The Poppy, Anemone
