This fpecies of Alkanet, which has fometimes been con- 

 fidered as a variety of officinalis, was communicated to us by 

 Mr. Salisbury, from his Botanic Garden, in Sloane-Street, 

 in Auguft laft. He received it in the fpring, from the garden 

 of Count Alexis de Razoumowsky, at Gorenki, near Mof- 

 cow, by favour of Dr. Fischer. 



We know of no prior figure of this rare plant. 



Native of the Cafpian Caucafus, and of the neighbourhood 

 of the Volga, growing among the herbage in the open campaign 

 countries. 



Biennial ; propagated by feeds, or parting the roots in the 

 autumn.
