7 J. rristis (Bory, ann. gen. 3. (1820.) p. 3.) stems prostrate, 
diffuse, almost simple; leaves alternate, rather spatulate, cili- 
ately tomentose; flowers in dense heads; bracteas ovate, co- 
loured. Y.H. Native of Spain, on Sierra Nevada, at a place

Sad-coloured-flowered Sheeps’ Scabious. PI. prostrate. 
Cult. The species of Jasione are all very elegant while in 
blossom, and they are, therefore, well fitted for decorating the 
front of flower-borders and rock-work. They grow best in light 
soil, and are readily increased by parting at the root, by seed, 
or by cuttings. Plants of all the kinds should be kept in pots, 
so as to be placed under shelter in severe weather in winter, or 
else they are liable to be killed, and the species lost to the 
gardens.
