 silky hairs, and when slightly bruised exhaling a peculiar, but 

 grateful, aromatic scent. Stem about 2 feet high, scarcely 

 branched. Leaves alternate, a span long, of several pair of 

 coarsely serrated leaflets, with various small intermediate ones -, 

 the terminal leaflet more or less stalked, the size of the former. 

 Stipulas of the upper leaves rounded, palmate. Fl. very nu- 

 merous, yellow, in a dense tapering spike, with lobed bracteas. 

 Cal. of the fruit encircled with a thick whorl of hooked prickles, 

 which attach themselves to any thing that comes in their way, 

 like burs. 



The herb is slightly bitter, aromatic and astringent, evincing a 

 tonic property, for which it has always been noted, and which 

 has procured it a place in several British-Herb teas.
