' " p H I S grows moil commonly on cow's dang, in the fields,
iometimes on rotten wood, or- on mofs in a moift and
putrid ftate. Its firft appearance is like a poppy feed, of a
pale orange colour; the prominent part covered with ftiff upright
hairs, when a little magnified, appearing as at a. lbon
the top opens, as at b. when the hairs, which before feemed
to cover the whcl^i top, are found to adhere to the verge of the
cup only; and the ihape of the whole' imitates a globular
goblet. As it advances in growth, the rim expands, falls
back; and thfdiik becomes flat,"only a little;,elevate*d at the
margin. The plant-is of a reddii'h orange colour.
Grows in fields about Halifax, plentifully.

. ids! not know that this plant has before been figured or
defcribed. I gathered thefe fpecimens under the fir trees, at
Burks-Hall, near Halifax, in Odtober, 1782.
