OF THE GENUS SYMPHYTUM. 581 
P. Sintenis in 1888 the calyx-teeth are triangular, acute, one-third as 
long as the calyx, and in those collected by Bornmüller in 1893 they 
are lanceolate, subobtuse, one-quarter to one-third as long as the calyx.

Shuttleworth described the flowers as yellowish white, but Schultz states
