 Root furnished with one or two ovate-lanceolate, sessile scales. 

 Stem and branches brown, or dirty yellow, or yellow tinged with 

 purple. Filaments and style bluish ; anthers yellow. Stigma 

 blunt. It is distinguished from P. ccerulea by its sharp spikes, 

 the few scales on the stem and branches ; the calyxes and brac- 

 teas being shorter by half than the corolla, the tube of which 

 becomes globular at bottom after florescence. The stem is 

 sometimes, though seldom, unbranched. 



Var. ft, violdcea ; this differs from the European plant in the 

 corollas being wholly blue. I/. H. Native of Barbary and
