 — Stem about 4 inches high, turning black when dry. ' Best distin' 

 guislied from all the varieties of V. serpyUifoUa by its more uprin«ht 

 growth, larger and more acute leaves; by the fewer, denser, and 

 brighter blue /o?i;m, which are more hairy especially about the 'caZyor

On perpendicular exposed rocks in Scotland, rare : the Breadal- 

 bane and Clova mountains. XL. 7. — Stems slender, procumbent , 



woody, much branclicd. Leaves glabrous, bright green, when dry | 



almost black, but semipellucid, thin, and distinctly veiny. Floioers 

 large, of a most brilliant blue, in corijmls. What "is usually known 

 under this name in Switzerland and the Pyrenees is a variety of the 

 next ; if indeed, as Mr. Bentham suggests, the two species are distinct : 

 there is no difierence in the capsule. -.
