Theybelong to the genus Inula,and are distinguished by adistinct division of the flower-head into disc and ray, andalso by two minute tails at the bottom of theanthers. One of these is the Common Fleabane (/. dysenterica)—a woollyplant, abundant in the moist pastures of the southern counties,flowering from July to September. Its erect stem is loosely branched,from six inches to two feet high. The leaves are oblong and wavy—the lower ones stalked, and the upper clasping the stem withrounded lobes at the base.
