The above plant was communicated to us by Mr. Loddiges, 

 who informs us that he railed it from feeds fent from Mount 

 Caucafus, at the fame time with thofe of Phyteuma campanu- 

 loides, under the name of P. como/a, from which however it is 

 quite diftincl; approaching very near to orbicularis, but differing 

 from that in having its radical leaves cordate, and cauline ones 

 broader and half embracing the ftem. It is remarkable too by 

 the globular form and canefcent appearance of the bafe of the 

 corolla. In our fpecimens the ftigmas were all trifid. It appears 

 to correfpond tolerably well with the defcription and figure 

 above quoted from M. Villars, but cannot belong to nigra 

 of Willdenow, to which Villars's plant is hefitatingly 

 referred. 



A hardy perennial ; propagated by feeds or parting its roots.
