summit: receptacle of the seed, or tumid base of the style, - 
depressed. 
55. Lithospermum officinale.— Wales, June 11, 1898.— 
Leaves with lateral veins. Tube of the corolla closed with 
five roundish teeth, (hollow underneath,) constituting the 
* protuberances at the base of each segment;" they are not 
placed at the sinus, as in Myosotis. Segments of the corolla 
notched at the summit. 
56. Lithospermum arvense.—Gloddarth, June, 1828.— 
Scarcely any prominence at the base of the segment of the 
corolla, and such as is visible is only a termination of the 
elevated lines of the inside of the tube. Seeds spreading, as 
well as the enlarged calyx: hairs of the leaf strong and 
appressed. Corolla externally hairy; segments of the limb 
entire. a | P 
57. Lithospermum maritimum.—Llandudno, June, 1828.— 
Leaves of the stem too narrow to be termed * ovate,” the 
radical ones are, however, of that shape. Stem-leaves gene- 
rally recurved. Segments of the calyx keeled, with reflexed 
margins, so that the calyx, when unexpanded, appears to be 
. prismatic: the hollow protuberances are found at the base 
of the segments of the corolla. Seeds not evidently keeled. _ 
58. Anagallis tenella.—July, 1828.—Stamens connected 
at the base, where they form a tube, and clothed, at the 
back only, with jointed hairs, from the middle upwards; | 
these jointed hairs are clubbed at the extremity, and 
each joint are four or five knobs; the lower part of the fila- 
ments is bare; and the tubular base is connected with the 
tube of the corolla; both falling off together. 3 
59. Viola hirta,—April, 1827.— There is indeed, as Pro- 
fessor Henslow observes, a very great resemblance between 
this and V. odorata, the principal difference lying in the short 
side-shoots, or runners, of V. hirta, which do not take root — 
In F. odorata, the hairs of the flower-stalks and leaf-stalks are 
deflexed, the calyx-leayes more evidently fringed, and 1 think 
not 3-ribbed, as in the other species; the hairy line on thé
