BCarious and pale at the summit, where the interior ones are 
dilated and often lacerate. Clinanth hemispherical or conical at 
maturity, with lanceolate acute palcce. Ray-florets white, with 
styles. Achenes nearly smooth and equally ribbed all round ; 
epigynous disk rugose, with a conspicuous border.

A. rnaritiina, Sm. Eng. Bot. No. 2370 (non Linn.). 
Secondary leaflets (segments) of the leaves reduced to large 
teeth, fleshy. " Clinanth flat " (Sm. & Bab.). 
In cultivated fields, by roadsides, and in waste places. Rather 
rare, but generally distributed, except in the North of Scotland, 
though more abundant in that country than A. Cotula. Var. jB 
found on the seacoast at Sunderland by Mr. Robson, and more 
recently by Mr. Backhouse. 
England, Scotland, Ireland. Annual. Late Summer 
and Autumn. 
Stem much branched from the base, where it divides into 
numerous decumbent or ascending rarely erect branches 6 to IS 
inches long ; primary branches simple in small specimens, slightly 
and irregularly branched in large ones. Leaves resembling those 
of A. Cotula, but the segments are broader and shorter, so that the 
leaves appear less finely divided ; sometimes the segments are very 
short and fleshy. Anthodes 1 to 1-| inch across. 
This may readily be confounded with A. Cotula, but the stems 
are very rarely erect and never so copiously corymbosely branched 
at the apex ; the whole plant is thickly covered witli hairs, and 
from theirabundance is often white on the young leaves; the inner 
phyllaries are dilated at the apex, the ray-florets have styles, the 
pales are much broader and lanceolate-acuminate, not subulate. 
The achenes are not rugose on the sides and have the epigynous
