Leaves three to six inches long ; upper leaflets decurrent. Bracteas with 
a broad, white, membranous margin. Cal. five broad, short spreading, 
permanent leaves. Pet. bright pink, inversely heart-shaped, the outer¬ 
most of the marginal prolific flowers thrice as large as the rest. Fruit 
beset with double rows of straight, rigid, upright, rough, purplish bristles, 
and crowned with the calyx and styles. One of the most handsome 
plants of its tribe. Sm. E.)

TO'RILIS. Fr. ovate, slightly compressed laterally. Seeds 
ribless, rough with scattered, prominent, ascending, rigid 
prickles : Cal . short, broad, acute, nearly equal: Pet . in¬ 
versely heart-shaped, nearly equal: FI. united. Sm. E.)

(Smaller and more spreading than T. Anthriscus, from six to eighteen 
inches high. Leaves harsh to the touch, the terminal leaflet elongated. 
Umbels of from three to five rays. FI. cream-coloured, or white ; rarely 
flesh-coloured. Fruit larger than that of T. Anthriscus, crowned with 
the hoary calyx, and red styles. A species well marked by the want of 
general bracteas, and by the spreading branches. Sm. E.)

Umhellules crowded. Seeds oblong. Leafits egg-shaped, wing-cleft. 
Branches upright. Huds. Leaves hairy, with about two pair of leafits ; 
the terminating leafit very long. Involucrum leaves strap-shaped, from 
five to eight, not half the length of the umbel. Umbel spokes eight to 
ten. Involueellum leaves spear-shaped, surrounding, and the length of 
the umbellule. Florets all fertile. (Whole plant rough with flattish 
bristles. Mr. O. Roberts. Very much resembling the former, but taller, 
more upright, more hirsute near the ground: the florets pinky white, 
those of T. infesta yellowish white: seeds of infesta by far the largest: 
anthriscus seldom found but in hedges and among bushes; infesta chiefly 
among corn, never in hedges. E.)
