entire piece, divided upwards into eight fegments ; whereas 

 in the latter the calyx confifts of feveral diltincl leaflets. 



Scopoli firft made a diftin£i genus of it, and gave it the 

 name of Urospermum, which was adopted byJussiEU, and 

 has been fince retained by Lamarck and Decandolle. We 

 do not know why Willdenow thought fit to rejeci it for that 

 of Arnopogon ; but as the latter name is adopted by Persoon 

 and in the new edition of the Hortus Kewenfis, we think it bed 

 to deviate from our general plan of giving a preference to the 

 right of priority. 



A hardy perennial, native of Spain and of the fouthern parts
