 (Sy. En. B. 866.) A double- 

 flowered variety, and also a 

 white-flowered form, are very de- 

 sirable. There are numerous 

 varieties of this species which 

 are frequently described as dis- 

 tinct species. The following are 

 among the number : 



C. g. cervicaroides (Cervicaria- 

 like). /. bluish-violet, terminal 

 and axillary. Lower leaves on 

 long petioles. Stem flexuous, 

 hairy. 



C. g. elllptica (elliptical). /. 

 blue, large, capitate. I. on long 

 petioles, elliptic ; bracts large, 

 often longer than the flowers. 



C. g. nlczoensis (Nice), fl. bluish- 

 violet, disposed in short, dense 

 spikes. I. approximate, ovate, 

 acute, sessile. 



C. g. pusllla (diminutive).* /. 

 few, capitate. I. round, cordate. 

 A. lin. to 2in. In addition to 

 these, there are aggrtgata and 

 speciosa (= dahurica). The latter is an excellent variety, with 

 large heads of deep-coloured flowers. 



C. grandiflora (large-flowered). See Platycodon grandi- 

 florum.
