Ardène, Jean Paul de Rome d' ( 1689 - 1769 )

Bib. and Biog. Brit. Mus. enters under "Rome d'
Ardène", but gives many of his works by title only,
since his name does not occur on their title-pages.
Some data on his work are given by Michaud, Biog.
Univ. 2:391-392, and C. H. Payne, Garden, 81:375
(Sept.8, 1917 ).  Michaud credits to Ardéne a "Traité
de l 'oreille d ' ours", without date, which Payne is
unable to identify. There is no evidence that Pére
d' Ardéne wrote on the auricula, but in view of the
practical anonymity of his books, it would have been
natural for an anonymous work on any popular flori-
cultural topic to be ascribed to him. Möet's "Traité"
(1754),  which is a plagiary of Ardéne's works on the
ranunculus, carnation, and tulip, also contains a
chapter on the auricula, which might by inference
have been credited to the author of the first three.
