 Petiver. At Barton, Norfolk. Rev. Mi: Furby, and Mr. Pitch/ord. 



Biennial. June, July. 



Root tapering. Herb light green, moderately hairy all over, very 

 milky, with a strong smell of bitter almonds. Stems several, 

 spreading, a foot or more in height, the central one only being 

 quite erect; all round, solid, leafy, more or less branched. 

 Leaves deeply and unequally runcinate, running down into 

 winged and toothed footstalks ; the terminal lobe large, acutely 

 triangular. Fl. several, solitary, on long, terminal, furrowed, 

 rough stalks, rather swelling upward. Outer Cal. of a few lan- 

 ceolate scales, shrinking as the flower fades ; inner hairy and 

 downy, hardened by age, and permanently erect. Cor. pale 

 yellow ; of a delicate red underneath. Seeds tawny, furrowed. 

 Down simple, roughish, on a long rough stalk. Recept. furnished 

 with short hair, fringing its shallow cells. The /lowers droop in 

 the bud, and after expansion close very early in the day; but I 

 believe they open for several successive mornings, like the exotic 

 C. rtibra. This last is Chondrilla purpurascens /cetida. Bauh. 

 Prodr. 68./; quoted byWilldenow for Crepis /oetida.
