 rolla blue, or purple ; tube length of calyx ; segments of the 

 limb oblong-roundish ; processes of the throat erect, tomentose. 

 This plant when tender in the spring is eaten boiled in Upland. 

 The tube of the corolla is melliferous, and the bees are very 

 fond of it. This is not the Anchusa, but the Bugloss of the 

 officinal writers. It appears to be nearly similar to Borage ; 

 the leaves being less juicy, and the roots more mucilaginous ; 

 these, with the leaves and flowers, are ranked among the articles 

 of the Materia Medica, bnt they are very seldom made use of. 

 " In China," Loureiro says, " the plant is in great esteem for 

 gently promoting the eruption of the small-pox."
