0 urs beautiful Forget-me-not is found about waterfalls, and on wet rocks with a north-east aspect, 
in the islands of Corvo and Flores, the most westerly of the Azores. Its proper habitat appears 
to be on the mountains ; though it comes down nearly to the sea-shore, following the course of rocky 
mountain streams, where the atmosphere is kept humid by the spray of the water. The deep rich

this species well deserving of cultivation, provided it can be brought to flourish in the drier climate
