This species, in its usual state, is very distinct, and readily known. 

 The stems, though annual, have a shrubby aspect, and are far 

 more abundantly leafy than any of the preceding. Thev are 2 or 

 3 feet, or more, in height, erect, wand-like, stout, roundish, fur- 

 rovved, obscurely angular, rough to the touch, nearly filled with 

 pith, though somewhat tubular in the upper part, which is 

 branched and panlcled ; the lower most hairy. Leaves alternate, 

 almost or quite sessile, and partly clasping the stem, lA or 2 

 inches long, ovate or lanceolate, ))ointed, rough-edged, sharply 

 an(5 regularly toothed ; dark green and almost smooth above j 

 paler, somewhat glaucous, and hairy or rough, beneath • the 

 lower ones elliptical, lengtliened out at their base. Fl. nume- 

 rous, full yellow, oj)en in the forenoon only, like most of this 

 tribe, on corymbose, hairy or downy, stalks, forming a variously 

 compound, often cymose, jxuiiiie, accom|)anied by many small, 

 ovate, leafy bracteas. Cul. brownish, downy and hairy, the 

 outer scales lax. Anth. greenish. Stigma beset with blackish 

 hairs. .SVt'f/ angular and roughish, dark chesnut-coloured. Doun 

 rough. Reccpf. a little cellular, and hairy. Whole htth milky. 



With the varieties above indicated I am not well acquainted. A 

 nortii-country plant from Mr E. Forstcr, which remains unalter- 

 ed by culture, seems to answer to the f3 ; but of thiw 1 have no 

 certain evidence, nor can I clearly define it us a species. It is 

 smoother, and of more humble stature, than our common
