13. FARACARYU1VX, Boiss. 



Perennial or biennial, hairy herbs. Leaves alternate. Racemes elongate, 

 bracts few or 0. Flowers small, blue. Calyx deeply 5-fid, in fruit not much 

 enlarged. Corolla funnel-shaped, or cylindric in P. heliocarpum, tube closed by 

 5 scales ; lobes 5, imbricate in bud, obtuse, spreading. Stamens 5, beneath the 

 scales. Ovary 4-lobed ; style from the base of the lobes, short or long, stigma 

 small. Nutlets 4, depressed, often broadly adnate to the carpophore with rigid 

 persistent style, forming a pyramid, their apices hardly produced, their bases 

 rounded, attached obliquely to the elongate conical carpophore, glochidiate 

 (except in P. ? Lambertianum), strongly margined ; margin sometimes much 

 reflexed as in Omphalodes. Species 20, in S. Europe, W. and Central Asia. 



SECT. I. Stem solitary, tall, corymbose upwards. Leaves large. (This sec- 

 tion differs from Cynoglossum microglochin, petiolatum, &c., only in the more 

 elongate conic carpophore, the nutlets being obliquely suberect, rather than nmch 

 depressed and subdivaricate as in Cynoglossum.}

 cordate submembranous cauline ovate base cuneate strigose on the nerves 

 beneath, racemes divaricate furcate, pedicels very short. Cynoglossum cseles-

 by 2 in., acute, subentire, tubercular-scabrous above, nearly glabrous beneath except 

 on the nerves. Racemes strigose; branches 2-4 in.; pedicels in., approximate. 

 Calvx-lobes in., elliptic ; in fruit | in., ovate. Flowers | in. diam., nearly as of

 prominent reflexed strongly glochidiate, disc nearly smooth shining.
