As we excavated the soil behind the statue bases on the north where there had been a considerable covering of lapilli, we found the soil contours of plantings with root cavities which we emptied. In them we found considerable charcoal, which when analysed proved to be oleander.” See Jashemski, W.F., 2014. Discovering the Gardens of Pompeii: Memoirs of a Garden Archaeologist, (p.289).
