SUMMIT OF PARNASSUS. 2G7 
however unfortunate in not finding either the chaiv 
cones or the blossoms; and must therefore . 
reluctantly leave the pine-groves of Parnassus 
still enveloped in obscurity. The other plants 
found here are mentioned in a note '. 
(2) It is perhaps better to enumerate all of them, and to iiii-lude the 
new species in the list. 
i. The Alpine Daphne — Daphne Alpina. 
2. Potentilla speciosa, of Wilidenow. 
3. The Rock Bellflower — Campanula rupestris, Sibthorpe. 
4. Pinus Balsamca. 
5. Pinus Piceu. 
ti. Myrtle S))urge — Euphoibia myrsinites, Linn. 
7. Thorny Thistle of Theophrastus — Dri/npis spiytosa, Linn. 
8. A very beautiful species of Cineraria, with oval-oblong slightly- 
toothed leaves, with a thin white cottony web on their upper 
surface, and very soft and cottony beneath : the flowers in large 
terminal panicles, upon cottony footstalks. The species to which 
it seems to be the nearest allied is the Cineraria aurantiaca . 
from which, however, it appears to be very distinct : but as the 
blossoms were in a decaying state when we gathered them, we 
leave the species for future illustration. 
9. We were more successful with a species of Cherleria, which is 
quite new. We have called it Cherleria stellata.
