more robust habit, and much more finely cut leaves, which 
Marschall von Bieberstein happily compares to those of 
Caraway. 
Stems several, from a perennial root, a foot, or a foot and 
a half high, striated, simple, erect. Leaves compound, 
stalked; the pinnae having a broadish outline, those of the 
lower leaves deeply bipinnatifid; segments short, acute, 
diverging. Flower terminal, solitary, the size of Chrysan¬ 
themum leucanthemum; peduncle naked, furrowed, imme¬ 
diately beneath the flower a little thickened and villous. 
Calyx nearly smooth, with scales scarious at the margin 
and apex, black, somewhat ciliated. Ray of a beautiful 
rose-colour, not scarlet; disk yellow. Pappus a narrow 
somewhat lobed margin.
