Gex. Char. Involucrum ( common calyx) (fig. 1.) simple, cy- 
lindrical, of many equal, upright, parallel, permanent scales. Co- 
rolla compound, radiant ; florets of the disk (fig. 2.) numerous, 
perfect, tubular, with 5 equal upright segments ; those of the ray 
(fig. 3.) equal in number to the scales of the involucrum, strap- 
shaped, elliptic-oblong, toothed at the end. Filaments 5, in the 
tubular florets only, thread-shaped, short. Jlnthers united into a 
cylindrical tube, with 5 notches at the summit. Germen (see figs. 
2 & 3.) in all the florets fertile, oblong. Style thread-shaped, as 
long as the stamens. Stigmas 2, spreading, oblong, bluntish. 
Seed-vessel none, but the unchanged calyx. Seed (fig. 5.) quadran- 
gular, striated. Pappus ( down) (see fig. 5.) copious, sessile, sim- 
ple, hair-like, roughish, longer than the seed. Receptacle (fig. 4. 6.) 
naked, pitted, slightly convex. 
The simple, cylindrical involucrum, of many equal, upright 
scales; the naked receptacle; quadrangular fruit; and simple, 
sessile pappus ; will distinguish this from other genera in the same 
class and order. 
Two species British. 
CINERA'RIA CAMPE'STRIS. Field Flea-wort. Mountain 
Flea-wort. Cambridge Rag-wort. 
Spec. Char. Plant woolly. Stem unbranched. Root-leaves 
elliptical, nearly entire ; those of the stem spear-shaped, small. 
Flowers simply and imperfectly umbellate, with several spear- 
shaped bracteas.
