238 Dr. SurTH' Remarks, &c. 
The two fpecies are eafily diftinguithed by the following marks + 
C. folftitialis has the lobes of the leaves acute, and efpecially the 
terminal one, which is perfectly deltoid. The fcales of the calyx 
are each terminated by a very ftrong pale yellow fpine, half an 
inch in length, accompanied by feveral fmaller ones. iv. 
C. melitenfis on the contrary has all the lobes of its leaves rounded, 
and the terminal one remarkably fo, and perfectly blunt, even re- 
tufe. The calyx is fringed with fmall brownifh fpines, of which 
the longeft is not above one-third the length of C. /oljitials. — Both 
fpecies have bright yellow flowers. 
The figure in Gerarde's Herbal, the fecond edition, p. r166, is. 
added by Johnfon, and reprefents the true C. ifitial: very well.
