* Lithospermum lanceolatum. 



Perennial, erect, strict, branching above, 3-5 dm. high ; stem 

 striate, strigose and slightly hispid ; leaves lanceolate, 4-10 cm. long, 

 6-12 mm. wide, the lower long-acuminate, the upper acute or ob- 

 tuse, finely strigose, with a strong midrib, firm ; margin entire and 

 ciliate ; inflorescence open ; flowers nearly sessile in the axils of 

 the leaf-like bracts ; calyx yellowish hispid ; sepals linear-lanceolate, 

 about 5 mm. long; corolla yellow, the tube about 7 mm. long, the 

 limb 5-7 mm. wide ; nutlets broadly ovoid, white, shining, pointed, 

 5-6 mm. long, 4 mm. in diameter. 



Nearest related to L. pi/osum, differing in the broader leaves, 

 the open inflorescence, smaller flowers, larger nutlets and less hispid- 

 ity. In L. pilosiim all the leaves, except the floral ones, are linear 

 and the stem is very hispid.
