Generally resembling C. microglochm, but with laxer racemes, larger flowers, and 

 different indumentum. Cauline leaves 4 by 1^ in., hairs on the upper surface from 

 tubercles, on the lower lax ; nerves not prominent. Eacemes 1-6 in., lax ; lower 

 pedicels j-5 in. Corolla | in. diam., widely campanulate, tube very short. Nutlets 

 not fully ripe, much more closely glochidiate than in C microgloohin ; carpophore 

 shortly conical at the base, style ; in.

 acute minutely softly hairy beneath, calyx-lobes in fruit ^ in., outer faces of 

 the nutlets ^ in. ovate marginate sparsely glochidiate. Anchusa petiolata,

Erect, 2-3 feet, hairy. Lower leaves oblong, long-petioled ; petiole of the radical 

 leaves 5 in. Eacemes straggling, branched, 4-8 in. in fruit ; pedicels very short,, 

 lower scarcely \ in. Calyx-lobes in flower ^ in., elliptic, obtuse, hairy. Corolla J in. 

 diam., tube hardly longer than the calyx. Nutlets as of Cynoglossum, faces but little 

 glochidiate except on the margins. — Flowers intermediate in size between those of 

 the two last species and those of C. furcatum, &c. No authentic example of C. petio- 

 latam has been seen ; and Thomson's examples are referred to that species, only 

 because Bot. Mag. t. 3858, closely resembles them ; the leaves in Thomson's plant 

 here described are hairy on both surfaces, in the picture they appear glabrous, ciliate- 

 on the margin only, 



DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 



C. Edoeworthii, a. DC. Prodr. x. 150 ; stem erect hispid below, leaves ovate- 

 oblong narrowed at both ends adpressedly hairy, calyx-lobes ovate obtuse short, nut- 

 lets ovate glochidiate on all sides. 



Himalaya ; alt. 4-6000 ft., Edgeworth. 



Differs from C. micranthum by the flowers twice as large, the corolla longer to- 

 wards (? in proportion to) the calyx, the leaves seldom subdentieulate.
