(Boot creeping. Stem erect, one to two feet high, smooth. Leaves smooth, 
undivided. Flowers about half an inch in diameter, in a flatfish terminal 
corymb ; the rays short, truncate, white as is also the disk. Grev. Ser-

* The flowers afford a remarkably clear and good yellow dye. Those of Chrysan¬ 
themum segetum resemble them much in appearance, but experience proves they will not 
answer the same purpose. Horses and goats eat it. Sheep are not fond of it. Cows and 
swine refuse it. 
f (From Achilles, reported to have studied plants under Chiron, and to have ex¬ 
tracted vulnerary virtues from this herb. E.)
