Corolla small, short- tubed. 11. Height 2K-5 ft.: stem erect, branch- ing : Ivs. sessile, ovate-lan- ceolate, acutely serrate : calyx lobes very broad, acute, serrulate, one-half shorter than the broadly bell-shaped corolla: fls. in a loose or dense panicle, which may be 3% in. long and thick ; corolla white or pale blue, 1 in. long, nearly li4 in. broad: capsule ovoid, erect. Caucasus, Siberia. advertised in Amer. at present. C. celtidifdlia, Boiss., referred to the above, may be a strongly marked variety. A plant once cult, at Harvard Botanic Gardens has very characteristic, perfectly el- liptical Ivs., blue fls., and more open inflorescence. 12. thyrsoides, Linn. Biennial : height 1-lK ft.: stem grooved : Ivs. all covered with long hairs at the margin ; root-lvs. sessile, spatulate or obtusely lanceo- late, 2% in. long, % in. wide, in a dense rosette, lying on the ground ; upper Ivs. more narrow and acute : fls. 40-50, sulfur or creamy yellow, in a dense thyrse-like spike, which may be 6 in. long and 2% in. broad : style exserted. 1290. 17 with the fls. in the spike are Ivs. which are longer than the fls., which is not true of C. lactiflora. Should not be confounded with C. thyrsoidea, Lapeyr., which = C. speciosa. No blue or purple forms are known. The picture in shows a characteristic red-tipped calyx. FF. Corolla large, long-tubed. 13. Vid411i, H. C. Wats. Perennial: height 1-2 ft.: stem branching from the base : some branches
