| Notes: | Label source: Syn Intsjin; Fki Iamogi and Kawara Iamogi Kaepf. Amoen., p.897; Iamma Intsjin; Thunb. Fl. Jap., p.309; Kawara Yomogi, Somokou Zouss. vol.xvi. fig 27; Phonzou Zoufou, vol. xiv fol 2. This consists of the flower heads, and bears some resembla, nce to Levant santonica, than which the flower heads are smaller. The paleae are oval, obtuse and membranous, about 6 in number, and closely imbricated. The scales separate more readily than in santonica, and are mixed with the flower heads, as well as po, rtions of the capillary leaflets. The taste is slightly pungent and aromatic, but not bitter. The plant flowers in August and is not an inland but a littoral species. | ||||
