Bellis perennis, Linn. True or English Daisy. Hardy herbaceous perennial, 3-6 in. high: lvs. clustered at the root, spatulate or obovate: fls. 1-2 in. across, solitary, on hairy scapes. Apr.-June. W. Eu.; escaped in Calif.; rarely runs wild in the eastern states. B.M. 228. F.S. 6:584, which shows 11 well-marked types. — An interesting but not permanent form is the "hen-and- chickens daisy," in which a. number of small fl.-heads are borne on short stalks springing out of the main fl.- head. 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.
