folded over the exterior aehenes, downy within; the exterior ones 
lax. Aclienes all with beaks shorter than the phyllaries. Pappus 
pure white, of soft hairs, slightly exceeding the phyllaries. 
In chalky places and by roadsides, and in waste places in 
limestone districts. Local. Plentiful in Kent. It occurs also 
at Pookham, Surrey ; in Suffolk ; in the South of Essex ; at 
Scarborough ; and in Carnarvonshire. 
England. Biennial. Summer and Autumn. 
Radical leaves numerous. Stem 6 inches to -2 feet high, erect 
if solitary, but with the lateral ones curving upwards if there be 
several produced from the crown of the root ; branches rather few, 
terminating in corymbs of anthodes, which are } to 1 inch across. 
Florets yellow, the exterior ones striped with red on the back. 
Peri dine generally greyish, from the presence of downy hairs, but 
sometimes nearly glabrous. Aehenes orange-brown, with about 
1<> rugose ribs, the beaks not reaching to the extremity of the 
phyllaries. Leaves and stem hairy. 
This is sometimes confounded with C. fcetida ; but the branch- 
ing is totally different ; the anthodes are always erect, the fruiting 
pericline has not the ribbed appearance which that of C. fcetida 
presents, and it is more cylindrical, from the base of the pappus 
being included within the tips of the phyllaries ; the pappus is also 
less silky.

leaves runcinate-pinnatifid or undivided and dentate ; stem-leaves
