Eu.; escaped in Calif.; rarely runs wild in the eastern states. B.M. 228.

Cockscomb forms, in which several scapes unite to produce a monstrous fl., are sometimes seen, but cannot be perpetuated. The rays are sometimes wholly incurved, or reflexed, or quilled. Other English names of the daisy are herb Margaret, ewe- or May-gowan, childing daisy, bone- or bruisewort, bone flower, March daisy, bairnwort.
