 north as the county of Norfolk, in England ; as well as of Tran- 

 sylvania and Caucasus. In Britain, on banks and about the 

 borders of fields ; not common. About old Buckingham

 Hoot fusiform, thick, white. Stem simple, but sometimes fur- 

 nished with a few branches towards the top, furrowed, glabrous, 

 but pilose at the base. Leaves usually glabrous, but sometimes 

 hairy. Flowers nearly sessile, or pedicellate, erect, forming 

 a long raceme, which is branched at the base. Corollas 

 blue or white. This plant varies in the stem being glabrous or 

 pilose, in the length of the pedicels, in the tube of the calyx 

 being glabrous or strigose, in the calycine teeth being entire or 

 a little denticulated at the base. The root is milky, thick, and 

 edible, and, with the leaves, is mixed in salads ; and, therefore, 

 it was formerly cultivated for that purpose. In France and 

 Italy the roots are boiled and eaten hot with sauce, or cold 

 with vinegar and pepper. The seed is sown in the spring on 

 deep light soils, in drills, and the plants are ready for use 

 in the autumn of the same year. It is called Raperonzola in 

 Italy; Rapuncio, in Portugal; Raiponce, petite Raiponce, in 

 France ; Rampion, and Small Rampion, in England ; Rapunzel, 

 Ruben, or Blau Bluhende Wurzel, Rapunzel, Purnitzlein, in 

 Germany ; Rzepeka, in Bohemia ; and Akla Rapunzel, in 

 Sweden.
