One of the commonest weeds, every where to be found. It 

 grows in large bushes together. This is the plant which Mr. 

 Pursh baa mistaken for C. anthelminticum, and which he I 

 grows plentifully in the streets of Philadelphia. It has indeed 

 a strong resemblance to the real C. anthelminticum, and w as 

 mistaken for that plant by the late Professor Barton. It pos- 

 sesses a peculiar odour, but not so strongly pungent and dis- 

 agreeable as that of the true anthelminticum. In the streets 



Philadelphia very abundant. Annual. All summer.
