 This is certainly a distinct species from L. maculalum ; the 

 roots of this creep like couch under ground, while the root of 

 L. maculutum is composed of fibres. Linnasus says that the 

 leaves are eaten as a pot-herb in spring. The plant was for- 

 merly considered medicinal.

 Very nearly allied to L. culgalum ; but the lower leaves are 

 rarely cordate : the upper ones much narrower, and often quite 

 entire ; and the corollas are smaller, and white.

 GaU'obdolon.} Benth. lab. p. 515. Tube of corolla obliquely 

 annulate inside, contracted under the ring, but dilated and rather

 p. 19.? but not of Ait. This species differs from L.fexuosum, 

 in the corollas being one half larger, more villous, and purplish 

 red ; and in the leaves being more villous ; and the bracteas are 

 usually broader.

Cult. None of the species are worth cultivating for orna- 

 ment, except L. Orrala and L. culgatum, var. maculatum. 

 They are of the most easy culture, and will grow in any soil or 

 situation, even under the drip of trees. The herbaceous peren- 

 nial kinds are increased by division. The seeds of annual kinds 

 only require to be sown in the open ground in spring.
