I found from the article below that professor Danin identified figures
of three types of plants in the Shroud of Turin

- chrysanthemum flowers,

thorns of Gundelia tournefortii and

leaves of Zygophyllum dumosum.

In 30 A.D., a disciple of Jesus brought a cloth, presumably the
shroud,
to the king of Edessa (part of Turkey), where it supposedly
cured him of leprosy.

Turkey didn't even exist back in 30 AD. Neither is Edessa part of modern
Turkey.

Clueless author needs to get his facts right.
