Annual. July. 



Very like the last in every part, except the corolla being smaller, 

 of a most vivid blue, paler beneath, its margin strongly, acutely, 

 and unequally notched, as the cut of Camerarius very well 

 expresses. The stem in that cut is, moreover, erect, which 

 Mr. Leathes thinks essential to this species. I have not in- 

 variably observed it to be so. There is certainly no difference 

 in the calyx. Whether a species or variety, the Blue Pimper- 

 nel is reported to be constantly propagated by seed.

Perennial. July, August. 



Root and stems creeping. Whole plant smooth, except the sta- 

 mens, depressed, branched, with small, roundish-ovate leaves, 

 finely dotted underneath. Flowers erect, rose-coloured, on slen- 

 der stalks much longer than the leaves, and becoming twisted 

 when in fruit. Stam. clothed with white, jointed, woolly fila- 

 ments. Anth. roundish, yellow. Stigma simple, rather acute. 

 Caps, smaller than the last, but otherwise precisely similar, as 

 well as the seeds, with which parts Linnaeus was unacquainted 

 when he referred this species to Lysimachia. It yields to none 

 of our wild plants in elegance, and being scarcely known on
