Coronopus fylveftris hirfutior C. B. pin. ipo. 
On dry Tandy grounds, and on heaths dowering 
in July. One of the hills in Charley Foreft, near 
Sheepshead, called Ives Head, is almoft covered over 
with it. It grows in Prefwold Lanes, near Lough- 
borough j alfo in a clofe the foot- way between 
Quorn and the turnpike. 
From the regular manner, in which the leaves 
of this plant are expanded upon the ground, it 
has been called by fome the Star of the Earth ; 
and much has been faid relating to its virtues 
againft the bite of a mad dog. See Phil. Tranf.

In mountainous meadows and paftures flower- 
ing in May. It is not a common plant in thefe 
parts ; I have obferved it upon Charley Forefl:, 
near Beacon Hill; and in the moift clofes at Wood- 
houfe, near Buddon Wood. 
Dr. Haller, in his Iter Helveticum, attributes 
the extraordinary richnefs and plenty of the milk, 
in fome parts of Switzerland, chiefly to this and 
two other plants common on their paftures j thefe 
are the narow-leaved Plantain and the Muttelina 
of Gefner and Camerarius. Opufcul Botan. p.
