funnel-shaped, white: tube shorter than calyx: limb cup- 

 shaped : lacinia very obtuse. Nectaries five barren filaments, 

 lance-shaped between the stamens, and a little longer than 

 them. Style oblique, the length of the corolla. 



This species differs in many respects from Symphytum 

 orientate, in which the leaves are more approaching to lance- 

 shaped, not rugose, nor undulate at the margin ; limb of the 

 corolla spreading gradually from the tube to the mouth, not 

 suddenly in form of a cup ; style considerably exserted, which 

 in this only equals the corolla. 



A hardy perennial. Flowers in April and May. Native 

 of Southern Tauria. Communicated by Mr. Knight, of the 

 Exotic Nursery, King's-Road ; who raised it from seeds sent 

 from Russia, under the name of Symphytum bullatum. It 

 appears to have been described by Willdenow, in his Enu- 

 meration of the Plants cultivated in the Berlin Garden, under 

 the appellation which we have adopted.
