side, ending in a compressed, short beak. The root is used as a 
material for dyeing blue, and is imported from Gosainsthan ; 
probably also from Thibet as a drug, under the native name 
Maharanga, meaning in Sanscrit a strong, intense colour.

Cult. All the species of this genus are extremely handsome 
when in blossom. Most of them being natives of rocks or sandy 
deserts, they answer well to be grown on rockwork, or on wall 
tops, in which situations the seeds should be sown, where 
the species will afterwards maintain themselves if allowed to 
seatter their seeds. In common they are short-lived and apt to 
rot. They do, however, very well in pots, among other alpine 
plants; and cuttings of them may be rooted under a hand-glass.

Leaves spotted with white, scabrous from strige. Flowers ter-

ments. Corollas red before expansion, then violaceous. ‘The 
leaves, which are the part recommended in medicine, have no 
peculiar smell; but in their recent state manifest a sligbtly 
astringent and mucilaginous taste ; hence they are supposed to 
be demulcent and pectoral, and have been used in hemoptoes, 
tickling coughs, and catarrhal defluxions upon the lungs. The 
name of Pulmonaria seems, however, to have arisen rather from
