Biennial. Stem erect, simple, except at the very apex, woolly 

 with jointed hairs. Lowest leaves strapshaped, attenuated at the 

 ba.^e, sub-petiolate ; upper leaves sessile, slightly amplexicaul, lan- 

 ceolate ; all remotely dentate or sinuate-dentate, or more rarely 

 entire, often undulated, sparingly woolly with glandular jointed 

 hairs. Corymbs united into a compact rather irregular compound 

 corymb. Anthodes rather few, erect. Pericline hemispherical- 

 bellshaped ; phyllaries all equal, sparingly woolly with glandular 

 jointed hairs. Ray-florets very numerous. Achenes glabrous. 

 Pappus at length much longer than the florets. 



Fen ditches. Very rare, and now nearly extinct. It occurred 

 in the counties of Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridge, Hunts, and Lin- 

 coln. The only place where it has been observed for many years 

 appears to be in West Fen, Ely. 



England. Biennial. Summer. 



Stem 1 to 3 feet high, very thick. Leaves crowded quite up to 

 the anthodes, which are about 1 inch across. Pericline yellowish. 

 Florets lemon-yellow. Pappus at first as long as the florets, but 

 increasing in length afterwards until it much exceeds them. Plant 

 pale yellowish-green, sparingly clothed with jointed glandular but 

 not gland-tipped hairs. 



Of this I have not seen British specimens.
