52 ENGLISH BOTANY. 
disfc resembling a flattened ring divided into segments by transverse 
impressed lines. 
With A. Anglica I am unacquainted except from the specimens 
contained in the Smithian Herbarium, where there are two wild 
iimens from Sunderland, and a cultivated one from Mr. Ptobson's 
garden — the latter scarcely differing from the normal state of 
A arvensis. The wild specimens have the clinanth convex at matu- 
rity, tin- paleae project between the florets and are rather more 
pointed than in the var. a; the perieline is more woolly; the leaves 
are much less divided, but not dotted, as erroneously described by 
Smith. I have specimens of var. a from Crookston, Edinburgh, 
which have the leaf-segments short and fleshy, approaching those 
oi* the so-called A. Anglica.

Leaves sub-glabrous above, somewhat woolly beneath, lunnate 
(pinnatipartite), with the rachis toothed between the leaflets; 
Leaflets pinnatifid, with the lobes entire or serrate on the outer
