with a leprous scurf underneath. Fruit-stalks lateral, with two and three 
flowers. Calyx, the scales at the base as long as the tube, as it were 
dead at the ends. Linn. Rays sometimes wanting. Hall. Stems taller 
and stronger; leaves more divided ; flowers larger ; fruit-stalks longer, 
the upper forming a kind of broad-topped spike ; seeds longer, and more 
deeply furrowed ; and the down longer than in S. vulgaris. Woodw. Blos¬
