52 ENGLISH BOTANY. 
disk resembling a flattened ring divided into segments by transverse 
impressed lines. 
With A. Anglica I am unacquainted except from the specimens 
contained in the Sinithian Herbarium, where there are two wild 
specimens 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, the paleae project between the florets and are rather more 
pointed than in the var. a ; the pericline is more woolly ; the leaves 
are much less divided, but not dotted, as erroneously described by 
Smith. 1 have specimens of var. a from Crookston, Edinburgh, 
which have the leaf-segments short and fleshy, approaching those 
of the so-called A. Anglica. 
Corn Chamomile. 
French, Camomille des CJtamps. German, Acker Hunds-Kamille. 
Sub-Genus II.— COTA. J. Gay. 
Clinanth hemispherical in fruit. Tube of the perfect florets 
compressed, winged. Achenes compressed-tetragonal, narrow at 
the hase, truncate at the apex, faintly ribbed on both face and 
back ; epigynous disk as broad as the achene.

Perennial. Stem erect or ascending, alternately branched. 
Leaves sub-glabrous above, somewhat woolly beneath, pinnate 
(pinnatipartitc), with the rachis toothed between the leaflets; 
Leaflets pinnatifid, with the lobes entire or serrate on the outer 
side and cuspidate. Peduncles striate, densely pubescent, scarcely 
thickened below the anthodes. Anthodes rather i'ew. Pericline 
sparingly woolly ; phyllaries unequal, narrowly scarious towards 
the summit, with a brown ciliated margin. Clinanth hemi- 
spherical at maturity, with lanceolate acuminate laciniated palcte. 
Llay-florets yellow. Acheues subtetragonal, smooth, with 5 faint 
striae en each face; epigynous disk smooth, crowned by an ele- 
vated membranous margin. 
In fields and stony places. Said to have occurred in the
