OF THE GENUS SYMPHYTUM. 541 
S. bulbosum, and that the same form is found in Capri and Nisida. However 
this may be, the plants named 5. Zeyheri by Béguinot, from Avellino, 
S. Italy, are scarcely distinguishable, at least when dry, from S. bulbosum. 
The plant gathered by Mr. Clarence Bicknell in Sardinia is similar to 
Sicilian specimens.

The large, subglabrous, deeply cordate leaves distinguish this from all 
other species. The description of the root and manner of growth is taken 
from Waldstein & Kitaibel’s ‘Pl. rar. Hung. The figure there given shows 
a root with two branches, one bearing a flowering stem and the other a tuft 
of radical leaves, S. grandiflorum differs in the decumbent caulescent 
barren shoots.
