being altogether diffuse and by no means ascending, tolerably 

 firm, and from 3 to 6 inches long, in its root-leaves being 

 nearly round and kidney-shaped, with double wavy cre- 

 nellings, and not ovate, or between ovate and- heart-shaped, 

 with taper pointed pectinate teeth, in its equal corolla, which 

 is pale blue and not bluish purple. 



In many respects this account is somewhat at variance 

 with the plant we liave figured, and accords better with 

 that published by Mr. Don in Sweet's Flower Garden ; but 

 our wild specimens from the shady rocks of Mount Gargano 

 agree exactly with the individual that flowered in Mrs. 

 Marryat's garden, and we conclude that the species is liable 

 to variations in the crenelling of its leaves and in the 

 colour and depth of the lobes of the corolla. 



It is presumed that like most of the plants of the South 

 of Italy this will require protection in winter from the 

 heavy rains of this climate, otherwise it will probably prove 

 hardy in the clefts of rockwork, of which it is a charming 

 ornament.
