African origin. Scattered through- out Europe in the vicinity of rubbish, by stream-sides where wool- washing is carried on, etc., in Arabia, Syria, Egypt, Natal, Taurus, Caucasus. Adventive in North America from Ontario to Florida. west to Illinois, N. Virginia, Texas, Missouri, Cali- fornia, and introduced to Chile from that state. Argentina— Buenos Aires; provinces of San Luis and Mendosa, Peru. One of the worst weeds in Australasia (first observed there in 1852) and a great detriment to the wool in the pastures of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria. In the Nort Island of New Zealand. At certain stages of its growth it has proved poisonous to cattle. E. F. Layard says :—“ Between 1855 and 1860 a ship laden with wool from Australia was wrecked on Cape L’Agulhas, Cape Colony. Many of the bales were washed up and salvaged, being spread out to dry along the shore and subsequently sold on the spot by auction. Some were bought by a gentleman living| at Simons Town, near Cape Town, transported thither, and in spread out on some open land to dry. From these two localities specimens were forwarded to me of a new unknown plant that had sprung up in considerable quantities. Dr Pappe, a well- known botanist, identified it as the Bathurst Burr. From the first-named place it spread all over the country, official reports stating that it almost always appeared along the roadsides evidently dropped from the fleeces of animals travelling Alone them. The burrs must have been in the wool laid out to dry on the shore after the shipwreck.” M An annual from 4 to 8 dm., with yellow tripartite spines at the base of the leaves, the spines 1-3 cm. long, rigid ; leaves whitish, with hoary down beneath, shortly stalked, cuneate at base, oblong- lanceolate, entire or three-lobed, the upper surface dark green except the nerves which are pale yellowish. i First record: Below the Cauld at Melrose, Roxb., 1868, Stuart in Proc. Berw. 74, 1869-72. Kelso to Gala, Selk., A. Brotherston Le., 137, 1873, and Rep. Bot. Rec. Club 78, 1874, and I. M. i. in Tr. Bot. Soc. Hdin. 42, 1909. Found abundantly at Galashiels Skin-works, and in both counties on the banks of the Gala to its mouth, Selk., and thence in many places by the Tweed for tern miles, Roxb. Growing robustly and in genial summers fruiting. Flowering August to October. a Frac, ofl lopoagh ld hte fee HERB. ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN wu DINBURGH | | | | | | 00425841 HERBARIUM OF WISS 1. M.
