Abstract
IN 1868 I gathered among the ruins of Pompeii a very curious monstrosity of the common ox-eye daisy. The flower and flower-stalk were confounded into a strap-shaped mass which was fringed with the florets. I showed it to Prof. Wyville Thomson, who told me it was an instance abnormal in this species, of the form of inflorescence which is normal in the coxcomb.
