A strong rough dark green plant, near a yard high. Leaves 

 with us rarely spotted with white, as Linne had observed them to 

 be. This accident seems principally to happen to the root- 

 leaves, which have stood the winter's cold, for the stem does not 

 stand the winter. Bloss. fine blue, segments rounded, tube at 

 the base 4-cornered. Germens bedded in a hollow glandular re- 

 ceptacle. Seeds 1 or 2 generally abortive; rough, very hard.
