folded over the exterior acbenes, downy within ; the exterior ones 

 lax. Acbenes all with beaks shorter than the phyllaries. Pappus 

 pure white, of soft hairs, slightly exceeding the phyllaries. 



In chalky places and by roadsides, and in waste places in 

 limestone districts. Local. Plentiful in Kent. It occurs also 

 at Bookham, Surrey ; in Suffolk ; in the South of Essex ; at 

 Scarborough ; and in Carnarvonshire. 



England. Biennial. Summer and Autumn. 



Eadical leaves numerous. Stem 6 inches to 2 feet high, erect 

 if solitary, but with the lateral ones curving upwards if there be 

 several produced from the crown of the root ; branches rather few, 

 terminating in corymbs of anthodes, which are f to 1 inch across. 

 Plorets yellow, the exterior ones striped with red on the back. 

 Pericline generally greyish, from the presence of downy hairs, but 

 sometimes nearly glabrous. Acbenes orange-brown, with about 

 10 rugose ribs, the beaks not reaching to the extremity of the 

 phyllaries. Leaves and stem hairy. 



This is sometimes confounded with C. foetida ; but the branch- 

 ing is totally different ; the anthodes are always erect, the fruiting 

 pericline has not the ribbed appearance which that of C. foetida 

 presents, and it is more cylindrical, from the base of the pappus 

 bcuag included within the tips of the phyllaries ; the pappus is also 

 less silky. 



Small Rough HawK's-beard.

Annual. Stem branched, leafy, sparingly bristly-hairy. Eadical 

 leaves runcinate-pinnatifid or undivided and dentate ; stem-leaves 

 sagittate-amplexicaul, with acute projecting lobes towards the base ; 

 all sparingly bristly-hairy. Anthodes erect in bud, in corymbs 

 terminating the stem and branches. Peduncles moderately long 

 or short, straight or slightly incurved, not thickened upwards. 

 Phyllaries keeled, clothed with long distant stiff bristly hairs, the 

 inner ones indurated, not folded over the exterior acbenes, 

 downy within ; exterior ones spreading. Acbenes all with beaks
