1567. C. nigra L. — The florets of this species are bluish-red in colour, and 

 Kirchner (' Beitrage,' p. 70) states that their mechanism agrees with that of C. Jacea. 

 As, however, enlarged ray-florets are never present, the top of the head is only about 

 25 mm. broad. Each head contains over 100 florets, with a corolla-tube 10 mm. 

 and a bell 4-5 mm. long, the 5 corolla-lobes being of the same length.
