COMPOSITE lOl 



Anthemis altissima, L. A weed of arable and waste 

 land in Southern Europe and the East. Several times 

 recorded in connection with plants introduced with 

 foreign grain. 



Anthemis arvensis, L. A native of the Mediterranean 

 region in maritime pastures and in woods. The typical 

 form is not, however, found in such situations ; it is 

 confined to cultivated land in all parts of Europe, being 

 doubtless derived from one of the wild varieties, and 

 spreading in a form better adapted to agriculture. In 

 Britain it is not infrequent in the south, but becomes 

 rare in Wales and Scotland. 



Anthemis austriaca, Jacq. A native of Central and 

 South-East Europe. Recorded by Mr. Brotherson as 

 a grass-seed introduction in Kelso churchyard {Botanical 

 Record Club Report, 1878), and by Mr. Davey as a 

 casual in Cornwall. 



Anthemis Cotula, L. Nowhere known in wild situ- 

 ations, but it may be presumed to have once been, 

 or to be still, in some undiscovered spot, native in 

 Europe, for its nearest ally — Anthemis Bourgcei, Boiss. 

 and Rent. — grows in stony places in Spain. It is plentiful 

 in England and Wales as a weed of roadsides, cultivated 

 and waste places, but is hardly more than a casual in 

 Scotland. 



Anthemis leucanthemifolia, Boiss. and Planch. A 

 native of North America, naturalised in some parts 

 of Europe, and once recorded from waste ground in 

 Surrey by Mr. H. C. Watson {Journal of Botany, 

 1866, p. 81).
