Stem erect, 1 to 2 feet high, branched. Radical leaves very 
deeply pinnatifid, sub-lyrate; segments rather distant, nearly at 
right angles with the petiole, sharply toothed; stem leaves much 
less deeply pinnatifid, with the segments pointing towards the end 
of the leaf, remotely serrate. Peduncles very short, terminating 
the stem and branches. Buds tapering to a point. Sepals with 
numerous soft hairs. Flowers 14 to 2 inches in diameter. Petals 
bright scarlet with a black spot at the base, the outer pair sub- 
rotund, the inner ones obovate. Pod 7 to 9 inches long, slightly 
curved, sub-cylindrical, covered with weak ascending hairs. Stigma 
very large, three or four times the diameter of the top of the pod, 
with the lobes deflexed. Plant more or less hairy, particularly on 
the stems, where the hairs are spreading, pale green, glaucous.

On shingly and sandy seashores. Common in England, but rare 
in Scotland, where the shores of the Forth and Clyde appear to be 
its northern limit.

Root and rootstock almost woody, the latter clothed with the 
blackened remains of decayed leafstalks. Stem erect or ascending, 
much branched, 1 to 3 feet high. Radical leaves numerous, deeply 
pinnatifid, sub-lyrate with the segments bent so as to be in a dif- 
ferent plane from the petiole, the lower edge of each lobe directed 
upwards. Stem leaves pinnatifid, with approximate segments, 
which in the upper leaves are often reduced to very large triangular 
teeth or lobes. Peduncles very short, glabrous. Buds tapering, 
slightly twisted, with a very few hairs. Flowers 2} to 3} inches in 
. diameter, petals deep rich yellow, concolorous or occasionaily with a 
slightly darker mark at the base, the outer pair transversely oval, 
the inner ones inversely deltoid, sub-rotund. Pod curved, often 
nearly a foot long, with minute tubercles, but no hairs. Stigma
