supposes that Linn^eus's tingitanus may be a very distiuct 

 species from cceruleus, has very properly added the synonym 

 of Morison to the latter, of which he makes it a variety. 



Every one of the figures referred to in our list of synonyms 

 is either a reprint or copy of that of Clusius, and as far as 

 our researches have gone we find no other representation of 

 this rare plant. From Cavanille's figure and description 

 of Carthamus tingitanus, it appears to us to be a distinct 

 though nearly related species, that having pinnatind leaves, 

 whereas our plant has the margin of its leaves only slightly 

 serrate.
