A native of the Alps of Switzerland and Schneberg in Auftria. 

 The reflexed angles between the erecl fegments of the calyx 

 are fo very fhort, that it may admit of doubt whether it 

 mould have been arranged in the third or in the frrft fcclion of 

 this extenfive genus. The capfule is trilocular. It varies 

 with pale afh-coloured flowers, and bright blue, inclined to 

 violet. Is a hardy perennial, but requires the fame careful 

 treatment as other alpine plants. Introduced from Auftria 

 by Mr. Loddiges, by whom it was communicated to us m 

 flower at the latter-end of April. It continued for fome weeks 

 in high beauty, and is indeed a very ornamental little 

 plant.
