Sea-coast at Sunderland: Mr. Robson ; Mr. Baclt/touse ( 1 8-14.) Q. 
7. — With this we are entirely unacquainted: it is probably some 
Continental species cast upon our shores, and in an abnormal state. 
De Candolle and others maintain that it is quite different from the 
true plant of Linnseus, which is apparently that described by Smith 
in the English Flora, a species supposed to be peculiar to the south 
of Europe, having fleshy glabrous or hoary dotted leaves, and an un- 
equally and broadly 1 — 2-toothed margin to the achenes. — The plant 
mentioned in our fifth edition as having been found at Dunboy Quay, 
Bearhaven, Co. Cork, Ireland, by Mr. W. Wilson, proves to be Ana- 
cyclus radiatus Lois,, brought there perhaps with ballast. 
3. A. *tincloria L. ( Ox-eye C.) ; leaves bipinnatifid serrate 
downy beneath, stem erect branched subcorymbose, receptacle 
hemispherical, achenes crowned with an entire border. E. B. 
t. 1472. 
Fields and stony places. Banks of the Tees. Durham ; Essex ; and 
near Forfar, Scotland, © or • 7, 8. — Stem a foot or more high, 
cottony, as are the scales of the involucre. Flowers solitary, large, 
entirely yellow. A very doubtful native, not now found in any of the 
stations assigned for it ; it is often cultivated. 
4. A. arvensis L. ( Corn C.) ; leaves bipinnatifid segments 
linear-lanceolate pubescent, receptacle conical its scales lanceo- 
late, fruit crowned witli an entire pappus. E. B. t. 602. 
Corn-fields and way-sides, in several places, but very local. About 
Dunfermline; near Edinburgh, Linlithgow, Ayr, and Prestwick; 
Lanarkshire and Forfarshire. © or $ . 6 — 8. — Stem upright 
much branched, and, as well as the leaves, hoary with down ; each 
branch terminated with a large flower, whose disk is yellow, the ray 
broad and white. Florets of the ray sometimes sterile ; in which case 
almost the only certain character connected with the flowers, that will 
distinguish this species from A. Cotula, is the presence of a style. 
** Florets of the ray without any trace of a style. Scales of the re- 
ceptacle with an acute point. 
5. A. Cotula L. ( slinking C .) : leaves bipinnatifid glabrous 
their segments subulate, receptacle conical its scales linear- 
setaceous, pappus none, tube of the corolla 2-winged. E. B. 
t. 1772. 
Waste places, corn-fields, and by road-sides. Q. 6 — 9. — Stem a 
foot or more high, glabrous. Heads of flowers solitary, terminal, 
their disk convex, pale yellow : ray rather large, white, its florets 
neuter (inaccurately represented with a style in E. Bot. ) The whole 
plant has a fetid smell, and is said to blister the hands of those who 
gather it. When examined with a microscope, it is seen to be 
sprinkled all over with little glands, in which the acrid matter is 
probably lodged. The Scotch stations, and many of those in the north 
of England, usually given for this species, belong to A. arvensis.
