Very similar to I>. cernua, but with the stem more wiry, the 
Ieave9 broader, generally tripartite, all except the uppermost nar- 
rowed into a winged petiole at the base. Anthodcs rather smaller, 
erect in flower, sub-erect in fruit. Pericline more bell-shaped and 
not nearly so broad ; outer phyllaries longer in proportion, and 
adpressed at the base. Achenes rather larger, with the ribs con- 
colorous, less strongly marked than in the preceding species ; the 
awns rather shorter in proportion, with stouter bristly spines. Plant 
darker green. 
Tripartite Bur-Mary gold.

This plant is sometimes employed on the Continent as a yellow dye, but the colour 
yielded is very indifferent.
