A. tinctoria L., Sp. PL 896 (1753). Ic: Hegi, I11. Fl. Mittel-Eur. 6(3): t. 270 (1968). Figure 10, p. 183. Greyish-green or whitish perennial, sparsely or densely covered with adpressed-tomentose pubescence, sometimes almost glabrous. Stems branching from near base, ± erect, 20-45(-60) cm, branches 1-headed. Leaves 2-3-pinnatisect (second-ary segments of lower leaves often bearing as many as three pairs of lobes), oblanceolate or obovate in outline, 1-5 cm, primary segments 3-5-pa,ired, lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, 5-15 x 1.5-5 mm. margin divided into 3-7 pairs of triangular, acute, spinulose-tipped lobes c. 1.5 mm, generally strongly infolded but sometimes (in woodland forms) remaining fiat. Capitula radiate or discoid. Involucre l-l.2(-2) cm broad, sparsely or densely white-tomentose; inner phyllaries brown-margined, ciliate at apex, Ligules when present c. 20, yellow or pale cream, 4-8(-10) mm. Disc flowers 3-4 mm, not inflated at base at maturity. Paleae oblong, acuminate, as long as disc flowers. Achenes 1.75-2 mm, ± distinctly ribbed; corona entire, c. 0.25 mm.   A. tinctoria, because of its extreme variability, has been interpreted as consisting of a number of varieties which diverge in two main streams from the typical yellow-rayed taxon. In the discoid stream it is possible to distinguish var. virescens, because of its larger size and southerly distribution, from the variable and widespread var. discoidea. The distinction between the white or cream var. pallida and A. triumfettii, is sometimes less easy; both may occur in the same area and specimens are encountered which seem to be intermediate. Nevertheless, there do appear to be two taxa: the one closer to typical A. tinctoria in habit with narrow infolded leaf segments, loosely branching habit and smaller heads, as against A. triumfettii which is often a larger plant with flat leaf segments, larger capitula and fastigate branching habit. 1.
