of the pods. It was taken from a specimen found in Lakenheath 
field, by Wangford, Suffolk. 
Cultivated Gold of Pleasure. 
French, Caméline Cultivée. German, Gebauter Leindotter. 
The specific name of this plant signifies sat, or cultivated; and it is said that the 
common name Gold of Pleasure bears ironical reference to the disappointment of its 
first cultivators, who found their investment about as profitable as “gold” spent on 
“pleasure” usually proves. It has long been cultivated in Germany and France for 
the sake of its seeds, and it has lately been introduced here with the same object, but 
with no great results. The seeds yield an oil which soon turns rancid, and does not 
burn well ; it is chiefly used by soap-makers. The cake left after the oil is expressed 
has been used as food for cattle like linseed-cake, but is very inferior to it. Birds are 
fond of the seeds, and domestic poultry, such as geese, fatten quickly on them.

Pods obovate, truncate at the apex; valves somewhat leathery, 
with a very indistinct dorsal nerve. 
In flax fields and on ballast hills. More frequent than C. 
eu-sativa, but with no stronger claims to be considered as even a 
naturalized plant. 
(England, Scotland]. Annual. Summer. 
Very like C. eu-sativa, but having the fruiting raceme shorter ; 
the pods shorter, broader, and less perfectly wedge-shaped in 
profile, dark olive when ripe, the valves dimpling on pressure 
without breaking, the dorsal nerve much less distinct. The seeds 
are also larger, darker, and more distinctly punctured ; the petals 
paler yellow, and the branches of the stem do not form so distinctly 
a panicle when in fruit. The lower leaves are often pinnatifid.
