5 or 6 lines long including their long smooth often irregularly 2- 
3-forked beaks, at first strongly incurved, hut opening and be- 
coming erect as they ripen. Sometimes 2 or 3 others of the 
same row are shortly boatshaped and as broad as long with di- 
lated shining parcliment-like pale transparent margins, giving 
them a bladdery appearance. Some of those of the disk have 
similar hut narrower and less conspicuous margins ,• others are 
simple and perfectly annular. The outer hornlike seeds are pale 
slaty brown or ash-colour and their dorsal spines often with 
bifid points. 
Below 1000 ft. this pi. in spring carpets almost every piece 
of waste or fallow ground with its bright orange-v. fi.
