DISTRICT OF TROAS. 18o 
About one hundred and fifty yards below the 
source, is a warm spring, close to the bed of ^ 
the river, exactly of the same temperature as 
those before described at Bonarhashy. We 
returned from this expedition to Evgillar ; and 
leaving the village, went again to Kiishunlu Tcpe, 
to complete our survey of the Ruins there. 
We were told that the Pasha of the Dardanelles 
had built a mosque, the tomb of a Dervish, a 
bridge of three arches, and all the new works 
at Bei/ramitch, with marbles and other materials 
Crocus /oliis lanceolato-lmearibus, Jlore hreinorihus stigmatibus anlhe- 
ras subcpquantibus profundi.f.iime muUipartitis, radicum Iwiicd fihroso- 
Costatd; corolla- lacinih elliplicis. 
Anemone scapo apltyllo,fvliis crassisprofundisshnetripartitis sulrntundis

tito, laciniis bis trijidis anguslis : involucro tripartita laciniis lanceolatis 
inferiori unidentato; petalis lato-ovatis majusculis. We also observed 
upon this mountain the /Anemone /Ipennina, Lichen articulatus, Fra- 
garia stcrilis, Crocus aureus, and Crocus Vermis. At the source of the 
Scamander gT&w " Mountaiu Shepherd's Purse," Thlaspi montanum; 
" Woolly-leaved Marjoram," Origanum Onites ; " Bulbous Fumi- 
tory," Fumaria bulbosa ; "The narrow-leaved Garden Anemone," 
Anemone coronaria; " Common Spleenwort," Asplenium Ceterach; 
and a beautiful species of Ruscus, a shrub, hitherto unnoticed by any 
author, with leaves broader and more oval than those of the Broad- 
leaved Alexandrian Laurel, and the fructification covered by an oval 
leaflet, as in the Ruscus Hypoglossum. To this we have given the name 
of Ruscus Troadensis — Ruscus foliis lanceolafo-ovalibun, supra Jlor for is, 
gubfoliolo. The leaves are about two inches broad, and from three, 
to three and a half, in length : the lowermost grow in whorls, the 
uppermost alternate ; the leaflet covering the fructification is nearly 
half an inch broad, and about three fourths of an inch long : the fruit 
uf the size of a small cherry. We did not see the flowers. 
Immediately above the source ^ew the " Purple-blossomed Alys- 
son," Alyssuvi delto'cdeum.
