The flowers of this fpecies have been confidered as bearing fome fimilitude to the effigies of a man, whence 
its name: the old authors in their figures of it have improved on this refemblance, at the expence of truth. 
Vid. PARKINSON, and others. 
It is a plant common to the more fouthern parts of Europe, and is found chiefly on calcareous foils, with us 
principally in dry paftures and old chalk pits, in fuch fituations it 1s one of the moft common of the tribe in 
Kent; we have found it alfo plentifully in the chalk pits about Leatherhead and elfewhere. 
It varies in fize, and in the colour of its flowers, from yellow green to bright ferruginous; flowers in May and 
June, and is more eafily cultivated than many others of the fame genus. 
The root, and indeed the whole plant, emits a ftrong odour.
