1. T. incarnatum, Linn. (fig. 245). Crimson C.—A softly hairy 
annual, erect or nearly so, often perennial, slender and starved-looking 
when wild, with ovoid or shortly oblong terminal flower-heads ; but in 
rich soils, or when cultivated, attaining 14 to 2 feet in height, with 
oblong or cylindrical flower-heads sometimes 2 incheslong. Stipules 
broad and membranous. Leaflets very broadly obovate or obcordate. 
Calyx softly hairy, with narrow pointed teeth nearly equal in length. 
Corolla of a rich crimson, or of a pale cream-colour, 4 to 6 lines long. 
In open places, especially near the sea, in southern Europe, and, 
having been long cultivated for fodder, has become naturalised in 
various parts of central and even northern Europe. In Britain, a pale 
yellow perennial form, 7’. Molinerw, Balb., the most common in a wild 
state on the Continent, is indigenous near the Lizard Point; the culti- 
vated crimson variety is established only in a few places in southern 
England. fl. summer. 
2, 'T. arvense, Linn. (fig. 246.) Hwure’s-foot C_—A slender, branching, 
erect annual, seldom reaching a foot in height, and clothed with short 
soft hairs, Stipules andleaflets narrow. Flowers small, in pedunculate 
heads, which are at first nearly globular, but soon become oblong or 
cylindrical, 6 to 9 lines long, appearing very soft and feathery owing to 
the fine hairy teeth of the calyx projecting beyond the small corolla. 
In cornfields, dry pastures, on sandy banks, &c., throughout Europe 
and western Asia, except the extreme north. Abundant in Britain, but 
more in the south than in the north. Fl. summer and autumn. 
3. T. stellatum, Linn. (fig. 247). - Starry C.—A low but rather coarse 
annual, covered with soft hairs, and seldom above 6 inches high. 
Leaves broadly obovate or obcordate. Flower-heads globular, softly 
hairy, on rather long peduncles above the last leaves. Calyx remarkable 
for the long subulate-lanceolate teeth, spreading like a star after flower- 
ing, whilst the mouth is closed over the pod by a tuft of hairs. Corolla 
shorter than the calyx-teeth, of a pale cream-colour. 
In dry pastures and waste places, in southern Europe, common round 
the Mediterranean, reappearing in south-western France, and on the - 
coast of Sussex near Shoreham, and perhaps in a few other localities, 
introduced with ballast. Fl. early summer, and sometimes again in 
autumn. 
4, T. ochroleucum, Huds. (fig. 248). Sulphur C.—A perennial, with 
the habit and foliage as well as the inflorescence of 7. pratense, and the 
same-sized flowers, but the leaflets are usually rather narrower, the 
flower-heads more ovoid, and the flowers cream-coloured, with rather 
shorter teeth to the calyx, the lowest tooth twice as long as the others.
