glomerate or crowded in very short abbreviated suppressed or 
condensed racemose or spicate cymes or clusters of 2-0 fl. 
(mostly 2 or 3), the upper 1-5 axillary sessile, the lower 1-5 
terminal on long thick round straight or curved branch-like 
stiff ped. or 1-fid. branclilets 2-4 in. long fistulose and swol- 
len upwards, often in twos or threes only, one or two ses- 
sile and one or two stalked, but normally with more both 
stalked and sessile. The thick fistulose stalks or ped. look like 
abortive 1-fld. branches, but are really for the most part the 
lateral fl. -stalks of a condensed abbreviate proliferously dower- 
ing corymbose cyme, of which the primary or central d. are 
nearly or quite sessile, overtopped bv but opening before the 
secondary long-stalked lower lateral d., — much as in Tolpis. 
Their terminal d. is uniformly ebracteate — this, in conjunction 
with their being dstulose and swollen upwards, proving them to 
be mostly rather ped. than as they have been termed “ branches.” 
Scales of outer inv. purpurascent smooth fringed or ciliate dis- 
tinctly and sometimes hirsute with w. simple not glandular- 
tipped hairs, with a pale scar-like thickened, indurated spa- 
thulate or oblong middle portion at their base half the length 
of the scale itself and appearing like a close-pressed outer 
scale or br. Scales of inner inv. gr. herbaceous, less distinctly 
or regularly ciliate with short simple hairs or setules. The 
ripe ach. I have not been able to examine ; but they are de- 
scribed and dgured by Reichenbacli in RFG. 1. c. as didering 
from those of C. Intybus L. in not being transversely lineolate 
but plain and even (“non exsculpta”), and in having a much 
longer coronule of chads about ^ the length of the ach. instead 
of 1 or i- e. more than twice as long. In C. Endiida L. the 
chads, according to the same author, are of much the same pro- 
portionate length as in C. divaricatum ; but in both C. Endivia 
and C. Intybus they are said to be sometimes united down- 
wards, not distinct to the base. 
C. pumilum Jacq. Obs. iv. 3. t. 80, and Fl. Gr. t. 822, is an 
erect furry pi. with a different habit and inflorescence, and ap- 
parently nearer to C. Intybus L. than to the present sp.
