Acholics with hair-like papillae. 
In damp fields, by roadsides, and in places inundated in winter. 
Very common, and generally distributed. Var. 3 I have seen only 
from Toft, Cambridgeshire ; but it may be common, as it is only 
distinguishable bv the achenes.

Annual. Main stem erect, lateral ones decumbent at the base ; 
all usually unbranched up to the corymb. Lowest leaves oblan- 
ceolate, obtuse ; stem-leaves amplexicaul, strapshaped, acute, all 
cottony on both sides. Anthodes in leafless clusters, arranged 
in a terminal corymb, exceeding the leaves at their base. Peri- 
cline ovoid ; phyllaries all equal, scarious, straw-colour. Achenes 
papillose, not hairy. 
In sandy fields and by roadsides. Formerly found in Cam- 
bridgeshire ; said also to have occurred at Eriswell, Suffolk; 
Lulingford, Norfolk ; and near Bognor, Sussex: also at Belfast. 
Probably not wild in any of these stations, but truly so in Jersey 
and Guernsey.
