nearly allied to V. longifolia.

10 V. azurea (Schott, ex Link, enum. 1. p. 22.) leaves 
opposite, or 3 in a whorl, very long, gradually attenuated, 
sharply serrated even to the apex: the lower serratures deep ; 
bracteas longer than the pedicels. 2t. H. Native country 
unknown. Plant downy. Leaves 3 inches long, and 4 lines 
broad, form of those of V. complicata; the serratures are also 
similar, but much longer, fewer, and larger. Flowers blue, or

ovate-lanceolate, acute, attenuated at the base, quite entire at the 
apex, simply serrated, and are, as well as the stems, glabrous: 
serratures remote, nearly equal. 2/. H. Native of the South 
of Europe. Schrad. comm. ver. t. 1. f. 4. Willd. enum. 1. p. 
17. This species is readily distinguished by its smoothness. 
It differs from V, argùta in its greater stature, in the leaves 
being longer, broader, and more equally serrated. — Petioles 
ciliated. Lower leaves subcordate at the base. Flowers blue, 
or purple. There is also a variety with white flowers. This 
is, probably, nothing but a glabrous variety of V. maritima.

glabrous at bottom. Leaves 3 inches long, and 7-8 lines broad, 
glabrous. Lower bracteas long. Calyx rather downy. Corollas 
blue. This seems to be intermediate between JV, longifolia, 
and P. maritima, but differs from both in the leaves being at- 
tenuated at the base.
