Annual, 6-12 in., rarely more; stem often simple with well developed radical 
leaves. The Sikkim specimens are more slender and glabrous than any others.

The more deeply cut leaves and larger heads, distinguish this from C. japonica. 
There are no materials for determining C. Jerdoni, which Mr. Clarke thinks is 
egyptiaca.

Roxburgh, who describes this from Caleutta Garden specimens, says it is annual 
4-8 ft. high, with a simple erect stem ; he did not know its native country, and pro- 
bably procured it from Hamilton, whose specimens in Wallich's herbarium are called 
angustifolia. The Sikkim specimens are much smaller, 2-3 ft. Hamilton no doubt 
procured it from the foot of the Sikkim hills. A specimen of a very similar plant is 
in Griffith's Affghan Herbarium (n. 918), but it is too young for determination.
