Onosma sibirica. Lam. illustr. n. 1836. 



At No. 889, in vol. 23 of this work, we have given a figure 

 of the Onosma taurica of Marschall v. Bieberstein, in his 

 account of the vegetable productions between the Terek 

 and Kur rivers, which flow into the Caspian sea. This 

 author in his Flora taurico-caucasica makes the same a 

 variety of Onosma stellulata of the Flora Hungarica. 



Onosma simplicissima differs from the above in the hairs 

 °» the leaves, especially on the under side, being much 

 longer and softer, solitary and not stellulate, in the leaves 

 °eing longer, narrower, and more pointed, and in the paler 

 colour of the flowers ; differences pointed out in the Flora 



taurico-
