Robin’s Plantain grows in communities among tall grasses, swaying gracefully on its long stalks as the breeze sweeps over the field. This is apparently the only one of its class that is distinguished by an attractive folk-name of its own,--all the rest are Daisy Fleabanes. [Illustration: ROBIN’S PLANTAIN: Erigeron bellidifolius.] *Daisy Fleabane.* _Erigeron Philadelphicus._ Found in meadows and roadsides during June. The simple, and leafy, stalk grows from 2 to 8 feet high; it is rather slender, finely grooved or lined, and a little hairy. In color a light green. The root-leaves are very long, the others decrease in size as they mount the stalk; they are long and narrow, with sparsely and irregularly notched margins (sometimes only one to a leaf), and a firm texture,--smooth to the touch. The color is green. They clasp the stalk partly, and occur alternately. The disc flowers form a small flat button, which is at first greenish, and later changes to yellowish-orange; the rays are many, fine and fringy in appearance, and varying in color from white to pink. The cup is light green. The flower heads grow in somewhat flat-topped clusters on the top of the stalk, upon limber stems which are inclined to droop. This Fleabane follows Robin’s Plantain in the succession of June flowers, and bears a general resemblance to the other plants of its genus, which renders it difficult to distinguish individually from its fellows. [Illustration: DAISY FLEABANE: E. Philadelphicus.] *Golden Rag-wort.* _Senecio aureus._ *Squaw-weed.* Found in May or June in pasture lands. The stalk, which grows from 1 to 8 feet high, is single, somewhat rigid in bearing, leafy, hollow, and woody-fibred, with a grooved surface. Its color is green, with dull brown streaks. The lower leaves are simple, and round or heart or lyre-shaped, with toothed margins, and are set on long stems; the upper leaves are long and narrow, their margins deeply cleft, and are set upon the stalk, partly clasping it. The texture is thin, and surface smooth. A rich green in color. The bloom is small, of a deep orange hue; it is gathered in a close head, surrounded by 6 to 14 short rays, which have slightly notched tips, are of fine texture, and are an absolute orange-yellow color. The heads are set in a smooth, deep cup, of a yellow-green color tipped with red; they are arranged, on long slender stems, in a loose terminal cluster. Occasionally the flower-stems bear thread-like leaves; sometimes the grooved stalk is slightly twisted. The leafage is inclined to curl, and with its fine deep notches presents a feathery appearance. The foot-tuft of leaves is interesting in arrangement. [Illustration: GOLDEN RAGWORT: Senecio aureus.] *May-weed.* _Anthemis Cotula._ *Pigstye Daisy (Mass.).* *Dog Fennel.*
