houses. P. Fl. July, August. Area, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Distributed 
throughout the Districts, but not common, and scarcely appearing as 
if truly indigenous. A common herb in rustic gardens, from whence 
it readily escapes.

Locality. In cultivated fields, and by waysides, especially in a 
gravelly soil. A. Fl. July, August. Area, 1. 2.3.4.5. Frequent 
throughout the County. Flowers large, on long naked peduncles ;

3. M. Chamomilla, (Linn.) wild Chamomile. The word Chamo- 
milla is derived from (chamai) the ground, and (mé/on} an apple,

Chameemelum of Pliny would be more correct. Engl. Bot. t, 1232. 
In corn-fields and waste ground. A. Fl. May, August. Area, 
1.23.4.5. Inaiithe Districts. Probably frequent in the County, 
but resembling so closely the fetid Chamomile (Anthemis Cotula) 
that it can scarcely be distinguished but by the absence of the scales 
botwedlithe florets. This species is said to possess the same proper- 
ties as the officinal Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) but in a inferior 
degree.
