fields, waste ground and roadsides chiefly in the N., but also on 
P ta de S. Louren^o (Ilheo dos Embarcadores), at Camera de 
Lobos on the Fort-hill above the church, Prazeres &c. ; in the 
N. at P t0 Moniz, S. Vicente, S. Jorge towards the P ta do Eer-

Apr.-Sept. — St. either several from the crown ascending or 
diffuse, or single stiffly erect straight simple and divaricately 
branched only upwards, 6-12 or 18 in. long, hard ribbed or an- 
gular, thickly leafy downwards. L. full gr. mostly smootkish 
in Mad., in PS. more or less glandular-pubescent but never vil- 
lous-hoary, 1-2 in. long, |-1 in. wide, crowded or tufted on the 
st., finely divided and compound like those of the true Chamo- 
mile, Ormenus nobilis (L.), the segm. very finely narrow- 
linear, but flat cuspidate crowded spreading, with a not un- 
pleasant scent like Chamomile but less strong. FI. f-1 in. in 
diam. solitary on long slender ped. at the ends of the branches, 
several or many opening together and forming a loosely irregu- 
lar cyme; disk golden-y., ligules altogether w. 3-4 lines long, 
1-2 wide, at night and presently altogether deflexed, always 
without styles and barren in Mad.; “rarely fertile” Gr. et 
Godr. Disk in fl. hemispherical, in fr. obtusely conic, bristly 
upwards with the subulate or setaceous tips of the chaffs rising 
and appearing above the yet unopened florets. Ped. slender 
not thickened upwards pubescent with short w. cottony down 
or hairs like the subequal oblong obtuse broadly scarious green- 
nerved scales of the pale gr. piano-hemispherical inv. Tube of 
fl. mostly 2-winged or angular and globosely dilated or bulbous at 
the base, but never either embracing the top of ach. or produced 
downwards into lobes or spurs. Ach. pale sandy-brown turbi- 
nate or clavate, sometimes subquadrangular upwards, coarsely 
10-ribbed and tuberculate, smooth and naked but with resinous 
dots or glands, the top slightly convex or flat with a small 
raised central epigynous disk, the edge strongly 10-crenate ob- 
tuse, without trace of crown or border. Recept. in fr. conico- 
cylindric nearly twice as high as broad ; chaffs altogether 
smooth finely narrow-linear with subulate setaceous tips nearly 
or quite as long as the open florets, longer than the same in bud 
and giving the centre of the disk before its fl. open a bristly ap- 
pearance. Hence perhaps the chaff’s have sometimes been de- 
scribed as confined to the upper or central part of the recept., 
whereas in Mad. they aro equally distributed over the whole.
