The Er, ephorum vaginatum is with us a much fcarcer plant than the tolyflaclim, but in fome parts of Great 
Britain , and in other Countries, is equally common. 
In its generic charaBers, excepting the Ihortnefs of its Pappus, it agrees with the feMachion ; it has there- 
fore the fame figures of reference to them; in its fpecific charafters, it differs very obvioufly, its root is not 
creeping but more matted, and its leaves, which are much finer, are confequently more apt to grow in tufts - 
the vagina of the upper ftem-leaf in particular is remarkably inflated, and it never produces more than one 
lpike, which is upright. 
It is found in fimilar Creations to the other ; on the boggy parts of Shirley Common, near Croydon, I have 
found it in tolerable plenty ; it flowers fomewhat earlier than the palyjiacbwn, but produces its pappus about the 
fame time. rt 
Sheep are very fond of it, whence in Weftmoreland they call it Mofs-crops. Raii. Syn. p. 436.
