Var. MINOR {T. minus, Miller, Gard. Diet. ed. 8 (1768')), is the common 

 plant of Berkshire ; it is the form alluded to by Baxter in which the 

 involucre is much longer than the florets. The var. genulnus, Sj'me, 

 E. B. t. 798, in which the florets are about the same length as the 

 involucre, was found on the railway embankment between Wellington 

 College and Blackwater by J. W. Eve. 



The var. tortilis, Meyer, Chlor. Hann. 434, I have found at Read- 

 ing and near South Hinksey, in both instances on the railway banks ; 

 is it more than a form caused by growing in dry sunny places ?
