Many of the Renaissance Astrologers listed the various trees,
flowers, herbs and flowers that they believed fell under the dominion
of the planets. Unfortunately, the lists very rarely correspond in

tradition in favour of experience, and often gives his reasoning for
choosing one rulership over another. Saturn: Trees and Shrubs - Beech, Elm, Holly, Ivy, Mealy Tree, Poplar, Sloe, Tamarisk, Yew. Flowers - Aramanthus, Cornflower,
