houses. P. Fl. July, August Area, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Distributed 

 throughout the Districts, but not common, and scarcely appearing as 

 if truly indigenous. A common herb in rustic gardens, from whence 

 it readily escapes. 



2. M. inodora, (Linn.) scentless fever-few. EngL Bot. t. 676. 

 Pyrethrum, Smith. 



Locality. In cultivated fields, and by waysides, especially in a 

 gravelly soil. A. Fl. July, August. Area, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Frequent 

 throughout the County. Flowers large, on long naked peduncles ; 

 Florets of the circumference white, very long ; disk convex. 



3. M. Chamomilla, (Linn.) wild Chamomile. The word Chamo- 

 milla is derived from (chamai) the ground, and (melon) an apple, 

 which the flowers are supposed to smell like. The old spelling 

 Chamoemelum of Pliny would be more correct. Engl. Bot. t. 1232. 



In corn-fields and waste ground. A. Fl. May, August. Area, 

 1. 2 3. 4. 5. In all the Districts. Probably frequent in the County, 

 but resembling so closely the fetid Chamomile (Anthemis Cotula) 

 that it can scarcely be distinguished but by the absence of the scales 

 between the florets. This species is said to possess the same proper- 

 ties as the officinal Chamomile {Anthemis nobilis) but in a inferior 

 degree.

 Name. Compounded of chruseos, golden, and anthemon, a flower.

 t. 601. St 2, 11. 



Locality. Meadows, pastures, and mowing lands. P. Fl. June, 

 August. Area, 1.2. 3. 4. 5. Frequent in all the Districts. Flowers 

 large, with white rays, terminating the branches.

 Bot. t 540. 



Locality. In cultivated fields amongst corn, turnips, potatoes, 

 and other crops, chiefly on a moist loamy soil. A. FL June,
