This is certainly a distinct species from L. maculatum; the 
roots of this creep like couch under ground, while the roc**ót 
L. maculatum is composed of fibres. Linnzeus says that the 
leaves are eaten as a pot-herb in spring. The plant was for- 
merly considered medicinal.

18 L. moxie (Ait. hort. kew. 2. p. 297.) lower leaves 
ovate: superior ones ovate-lanceolate, acute, truncate at the 
base, very rarely cordate; calycine teeth long-subulate; tube of 
corolla ample, furnished with a hairy ring inside, subrecurved :

Very nearly allied to LZ. vulgàtum ; but the lower leaves are 
rarely cordate: the upper ones much narrower, and often quite

pale red, about equal in length to the calycine teeth; galea

Cult. None of the species are worth cultivating for orna- 
ment, except Z. Orvàla and L. vulgàtum, var. maculàtum. 
They are of the most easy culture, and will grow in any soil or 
situation, even under the drip of trees. The herbaceous peren- 
nial kinds are increased by division. The seeds of annual kinds 
only require to be sown in the open ground in spring.
