This is distinguished from S. orientale, which it resembles in the cordate 
leaves, by the deeply divided calyx with lanceolate segments. S&S. grandi- 
florum, DC., has been taken for jS. tawricum, but differs greatly in the 
creeping root with decumbent leafy shoots and simple flowering stem with 
few-flowered racemes. ©. bullatum, Hornem., is said to differ in the smaller 
leaves of a darker green, the more hispid stem, the hairs with purple glands 
at the base, and the more inflated, pale corolla. The Allesley plant was 
mentioned as a garden escape by Syme in * English Botany’ in 1867, and 
he states that it had also been found on a hedge-bank near the Observatory 
at Cambridge, but specimens from this locality belong to S. orientale.
