most plants which flower throughout the summer, this species presents many
variations. We have distinguished only the more important, assuming the
smaller and vernal form as the type, which is moreover the plant of Plukenet,
Clayton, &c. The stoutest and large-leaved var. 6. resembles some of the
garden states, which have been long in cultivation. Ripe achenia dark

14. C. lanceolata (Linn.): pubescent or nearly glabrous ; stems short, ascending,
often branched near the base ; leaves entire, with ciliate or scabrous
margins; the radical and lower cauline oblanceolate or spatulate-oblong,
tapering into hairy petioles; the upper oblong-lanceolate or linear-lanceolate,
sessile, slightly connate at the base (the uppermost rarely alternate); heads
mostly solitary, on very long naked peduncles ; scales of the exterior involucre
ovate-lanceolate; rays^ deeply 4-5-toothed or incised at the summit;
achenia nearly orbicular, incurved when mature, broadly winged, crowned
with 2 very short auriculiform denticulate squamellte, which when old be-
(esPRC‘ally in cultivation) subulate teeth.—Linn. ! spec. 2. p. 908 •

lanceolate or linear-spatulate, or sometimes divided; the cauline 1- 2-pin-
nately or ternately 3-5-parted, with the segments or lobes narrowly linear or
