Sometimes 4 feet high, and very strong in its growth. Stent 

 smooth. Leaves either spear-shaped or egg-spear-shaped, almost 

 sitting, rough with hairs, irregularly serrated. Flowers upright, 

 but the fruit-stalk when ripe bent downwards ; and the calyx be- 

 comes large and globular at the base from the distension of the 

 inclosed capsule. Bloss. blue or pale red.

Stem branched, hairy and membranaceous at the corners. 

 Leaves heart-spear-shaped, upper ones sitting, lower ones on leaf- 

 stalks. Mr. Woodward has sometimes observed 2 flowers on a 

 fruit-stalk in the C. latifolia, and only 1 on the C. trachelium, * 

 and Dr. Stokes has found the calyx in the latter almost without 

 hairs, as represented in Sowerby's fig. in E. bot. 12; so that the 

 Linnsean characters are hardly sufficient in all cases to discrimi- 

 nate these 2 species ; but the membranaceous angles of the stem, 

 and the different heart-spear-shaped leaves of the C. trachelium 

 are at all times sufficient to distinguish it from the C. latifolia. 

 Bloss. hairy within : blue, sometimes pale red ; not unfrequen tly 

 double, and when this is the case the stamens and nectaries arc 

 wanting.

* The beauty of its flowers frequently procures it a place in our gar- 

 dens. The whole plant abounds with a milky liquor. Horses, sheep. 

 an<i soats eat it. The young shoots stripped of the skin are boiled and
