In corn fields, but not common. Dr. Farfons, O. 

 VI. 



The ftalk is a foot high, ered and branched : the 

 flower is fmall, and of a pale yellow color : the 

 neflariferous fcale is obfcurely heart-fhaped with 

 an infledled margin, • the Stamina are about 14 

 or 15: the feeds 6 or 8, of a round and flatted 

 figure, both fides echinated or covered with 

 prickles, the marginal ones being the longed and 

 largeft. This lalt criterion readily difl:inguilhes 

 the fpecies. 



The juice of this kind is acrid like the preceding. 

 An ounce of it given to a dog has killed him 

 in three days, the ftomach being inflamed, cor- 

 roded and bliftered.
