yato of Tournefort by the name of integrifolia, from the 
_ Arsutus Andrachne of Linneus, of which it had previously 
been the undisputed synonym. ‘The main distinctions he 
relies on are, that the leaf of integrifolia is rounded at 
the end with a short central: point, that the bractes are 
longer than ‘the flowers, which have exceedingly short 
' pedicles, and that the plant had been found only on 
Mount Ida, in Candia; circumstances that do not .be- 
long to the plant before us, and which may really prove 
to be solid marks of its specific difference. But M. de 
Lamarck has, besides this, detached from Andrachne the sy- 
nonym adduced by Linnzus from Clusius’s work, and trans- 
ferred it to integrifolia. In this he seems to err in the face 
of his own showing, for none of the features peculiar to his 
plant are to be perceived either in the figure or description’ 
found in that work; both which, as far as they go, coincide 
with the Linnean species.. Professor de Jussieu is per- 
suaded that he remembers formerly to have seen Tourne- 
fort’s plant in the Jardin du Roi at Paris, from whence, 
however, he says it has long since disappeared. 
Andrachne is native of most parts of the Levant. M. 
Marschall von Bieberstein, in the Flora taurico-caucasica, 
says that he found it growing on the sides of rocks about 
“most of the maritime villages of the Crimea; where it
