WILSON’S OBSERVATIONS. 271 
find, though it has an unpleasant scent when bruised. Seeds 
oblong, not obovate, light-brown, furrowed. A succulent 
plant; not easily dried. 
52. Pyrethrum maritimum. Near Liverpool. (Sir J. E. 
Smith’s habitat.) September 12, 1827. Stem certainly not 
hollow. Segments of the leaves not wholly destitute of 
points. Seeds of the ligulate florets with a deeply 4-lobed 
cup-shaped crown, below which, externally, are two yellow 
oblong bodies extending half way down the seed, which is 
not in that part much furrowed, though it is deeply so on 
the other side. Segments of the tubular florets keeled at 
the back, the line very prominent just below the apex of the 
segment. I consider it a mere variety commonly found on 
the sea-shore in Anglesea and elsewhere. 
54. Anthemis nobilis, Near Warrington, September, 
1826. Stems taking root, when they touch the ground. 
Leaves with segments convex above, flattened and ribbed 
beneath. 
55. Anthemis Cofula. Anglesea, August 24, 1826. Stem 
Solid. Scales of the receptacle not always bristle-shaped, 
often linear-lanceolate, acute, keeled or concave on one side, 
the keel strong and the border membranous, sometimes 
jagged and much dilated, always shorter than the florets. 
Limb of the tubular florets in 5 ovate spreading segments, 
and somewhat toothed in the throat below the segments. 
Florets of the ray about nine, and, so far as I have seen, 
without any style. In the other florets the stigma is divid- 
ed into two abrupt portions. Seed without any border, 
tuberculated, obovate. 
56. Centaurea Scabiosa. July 29, 1826. Near Bangor. 
The tubular florets with five dark purple ribs below the 
limb, becoming forked at the lacinie and extending a little 
Way along the margin of each segment. Seed down or 
bristles with slender erect spinule.
