Sivu 466 - Brittanicae, or descriptions of the marine and other inarticulated plants of the British Islands, belonging to the order Algae, with plates illustrative of the genera.
Sivu 64 - Flora, which range from the coast of the Levant to the Himalaya. It varies a good deal in the shape of its leaves and in the amount of ferruginescence, hence the synonyms cuspidata and ferruginea ; but it does not appear to differ specifically from the Olea Europea (Mount of Olives), the emblem of peace and plenty.
