 Curled Tansy. Petiv. H. Brit. t. 20. f. 10. 



In hilly pastures, hedges, and by road sides. 



Perennial. Jul//, August. 



Root moderately creeping. Stems 1^ or 2 feet high, erect, rather 

 angular, leafy, solid, unbranched, smooth. Leaves doubly and 

 deeply pinnatifid, and sharply cut, dark green, smooth. Fl. nu- 

 merous, of a golden yellow, terminal, densely corymbose, the 

 marginal Jiorets scarcely apparent, and often wanting. Seeds 

 with a quadrangular entire crown. 



Every part is very bitter, with a strong, but not unpleasant, scent. 

 The qualities are esteemed of a tonic and cordial nature, ex- 

 pelling intestinal worms, and strengthening the digestive 

 powers. The plant however does not agree vvitli every stomach. 

 The curled variety, /3, first noticed in England, is kept for use 

 in gardens, as being more wholesome, or milder, than the wild 

 sort 3 but Tansy j)udding is now out of fashion.
