2. A. Cotula, (Linn.) stinking Chamomile, stink Mayweed.

Cautula,” Parkinson. Engl. Bot. t. 1772. Reich. Icones, xvi.,

on ill drained land. 
3. A. nobilis, (Linn.) noble or common Chamomile. Vobilis is

Very local in Wilts. The extremely short fleshy, and somewhat 
hoary segments of the leaves, with the procumbent habit and 
pungently aromatic odour of the bruised flowers, will enable any

British species of the same genus which greatly resemble it. The 
cultivated double variety of this plant is the Chamomile of the 
druggists.
