196 A NEW FLORA OF 



this species and tlie next was gathered by Mr. Baker in 1866 at 

 I^orth Middleton near "Wooler, in a field where they grew inter- 

 mixed. The stem was about three feet high, the leaves similar 

 to those of C. nutans but the spines rather feebler, the heads 

 three to five in a cluster, mostly on distinct stalks but casually 

 two together, two-thirds the size of ordinary C. nutans, and the 

 outer phyllaries not more than half as broad and hardly at all 

 reflexed. This form is about midway between C. nutans and the 

 Continental C. acanthoides, differing from the former about as 

 much as the latter does from C. crispiis.
