COMPOSITE. 157 
nearly straight, with projecting points, not scolloped into small 
teeth, as in S. palustris. The anthodes are more numerous, 
smaller, and the florets paler yellow. The phyllaries are narrower, 
with shorter hairs tipped with olive glands, and consequently appear- 
ing of a deeper green than those of S. arvensis. The achenes are 
larger, paler in colour, less compressed, with the rihs unequal and 
rugose.
