the management, except to be protected from wet in winter. 
When we saw it in flower in September last, it was not above 
a foot high, but we understand it has since increased very 
much in size as well as in beauty. The blue of the flowers 
is of the most intense and brilliant tint. We presume it may 
be propagated by cuttings. 
We cannot in this place undertake to unravel all the 
synonyms of this plant, about which there is very great con- 
fusion in systematic writers. All we can answer for are the 
following points. 
1. It is the Z. rosmarinifolium of Tenore, as we have 
ascertained by the examination of authentic specimens. 
It is probably, therefore, the Z. graminifolium of Romer 
and Schultes. 
2. It is not Z. graminifolium of Viviani, as we have also 
ascertained by consulting authentic specimens from Viviani 
himself; that species has the truly funnel-shaped, or obconical 
corolla of a Pulmonaria, without a trace of hairs on its outside; 
its anthers are as long as the limb of the corolla; and the 
style is much longer than either. 
3. Neither is it the Z. rosmarinifolium of Reichenbach, who 
seems to have described some variety of L. graminifolium, 
as he himself suspects. 
4. L. fruticosum, to which it is also referred in Romer and 
Schultes, hasits leaves covered with sharp, callous, spreading 
bristles, and the corolla smooth on the outside, besides having 
a totally different habit. 
We may add that this last, and Z. olezfolium of the 
Pyrenees would be great acquisitions to our Gardens.
