counties of Essex, Northumberland, Pife, and Forfar ; but it has 
not been found recently, and no doubt bad been introduced. 
[England, Scotland.] Perennial. Late Summer 
and Autumn. 
Stem 1 to 2 feet high, branched so as to form a small bush. 
Leaves with the segments strapshaped, serrate or pinnatind, all 
united by a green strip on each side of the rachis, which gives olf 
processes between the segments. Peduncles long, leafless at the 
top. Anthodes 1 to 1^ inch across. Achenes whitish. Plant 
dull-green, more or less hairy; the leaflets sparingly woolly 
beneath. 
Ox-eye Chamomile. 
French, Camomille des Teiaturiers. German, Farber Hunds-Kamille. 
The flowers of this plant afford a remarkably clear and good yellow dye, and can 
scarcely be distinguished from those of the corn marigold.

Clinanth elongate-conical in fruit. Tube of the perfect florets 
cylindrical, enlarged at the base, which is persistent and envelops 
the fruit equally or on one side only. Achenes compressed-cylin- 
drical, rounded at the apex, with 3 slender ribs on the inner face, 
smooth or nearly so on the back; epigynous disk much smaller
