2. A. tinctoria (L.) ; receptacle hemispherical, fr. tetragonal 
crowned with a membranous undivided border, 1. bipinnatifid 
downy beneath, segments parallel decurrent serrated, ray shorter 
than the breadth of the disk. — E. B. 1472. — St. 1 — 2 feet high, 
much branched, cottony. L. green, rough or hairy above, cot- 
tony and white beneath. Heads on long stalks, solitary terminal, 
disk and rays bright yellow. Scales not protruding. — Moun-

3. A. anglica (Spr.) ; receptacle flat, fr. crowned with a very 
narrow entire border, 1. pinnatifid somewhat hairy, lobes inciso- 
serrate acute bristle-pointed rather fleshy. — A. maritima Sm. 
E. B. 2370. — St. prostrate. Involucre slightly downy. Disk 
yellow, ray white. — I am only acquainted with this plant from 
the figure and description of Smith, who considered it as the 
A. maritima (L.) from which it is very different. (See DC. Prod, 
vi. 10.) That plant has glabrous fleshy punctured pinnatifid 1. 
with lanceolate scarcely acute lobes either quite entire or with 
2 or 3 teeth at their apex, and the scales of its receptacle have a 
much shorter point. A. anglica appears to be closelv allied to 
A. altissima and A. Cota. — Sea-shore. Sunderland. Mr. Rob-

4. A. Cotula (L.) ; receptacle elongate-conical, fr. terete tuber- 
cular-striated crowned with a crenulated margin surrounding a 
slightly convex disk, 1. bipinnatifid nearly glabrous : lobes linear 
acute mostly entire. — E. B. 1772. — St. 1 — 2 feet high, branched,
