 Tuberous-rooted Comfrey, AngUs. 

 It has been obferved in feveral places in Scotland. 

 Mr. Talden found it growing fparingly oppofite 

 the new well at the water of Leith^ but more 

 plentifully in Dr. Robertfon's walks at North 

 Marchijiony where it feems to be a native. %. 

 VII. 

 It is very nearly related to the S. officinale^ and by 



fome is thought to be only a variety of it. 

 It differs however in having a tuberous-headed 

 root, white on the outfide; whereas the roots of 

 the S. officinale are externally black. 

 The leaves alfo of that we are defcribing are nar- 

 rower, the upper ones more oval than the 

 other, and in general lefs decurrent, or not- 

 running fo low down the ftalk. 

 The flowers are pale-yellow, or flraw-color'd. 

 The fubulated rays in the front of the flower 

 are finely dented throughout, whereas thofe 

 of the other are without dents at the bafe,
