The whole plant is hairy : the ftalks recline on the 

 ground : the whirls are downy, and much fnorter 

 than the leaves : the Calyces hoary, the flowers 

 of a pale blue, the lowed fegment of the Corolla 

 obtufe. 



The plant fmells much like the blue part of a de- 

 cayed cheefe. 



Linnaits fays, that the milk of cows which have fed 

 upon this plant can hardly be made to turn to
