the flowers larger, &c. Corollas violaceous, larger than those 
of S. sylvéstris.

long-ovate, obtuse, crenated, or a little cut, cordate at the base,

78 S. veRBENA'cA (Lin. spec. p. 35.) stem erect, pubescent, 
or villous; leaves broad-ovate, or oblong, crenated, wrinkled,

superior ones broader, sessile, cordate at the base; floral leaves 
ovate-roundish, acuminated, villous, permanent, rather shorter 
than the calyxes, reflexed after florescence ; racemes elongated, 
simple, or a little branched ; whorls remote, about 6-flowered ;

Mill. dict. no. 1. Mor. hist. sect. 1l. t. 14. f. 33. Leaves 
3-4 inches long, 1-2 broad. Corollas blue, rarely white, size of 
those of S. Horminum. The herb and flowers prove very aro- 
matic when rubbed. The seeds produce a great quantity of 
mucilage when moistened, whence they become serviceable for 
removing extraneous matter from the eyes. If put under the 
eye-lashes for a few moments the tears dissolve their mucilage, 
which envelopes any sand or dust, and brings it out. Hence 
some old authors has called the plant Oculus christi, and others 
of our own country have derived our English name Clary from 
the same circumstance. 
Var. B, oblongifolia (Benth. lab. p. 240.) leaves oblong, cre- 
nated, hardly cut. 2t. H. Cultivated in gardens. S. oblon-

ovate, acute, approximate. 2. H. Native of France, about 
Toulouse. This is probably a variety of S. clandestina.

79 S. cyanprstrNna (Lin. spec. p. 36. but not of his herb.) 
stem herbaceous, erect, pubescent, or villous ; leaves ovate-ob- 
long, deeply toothed, or pinnatifid, wrinkled, glabrous: lower 
ones petiolate, narrowed at the base, truncate, or sub-cordate ; 
floral leaves ovate-roundish, acuminated, villous, permanent ; 
racemes simple, or a little branched; lower whorls remote:

with the leaves crowded at the bottom of the stem, narrower, 
and more deeply cut.
