The Pulmonaria maritima is Found abundantly on many parts of our fea-coafts, yet not generally ; like the 
Crambe maritima, it has its local attachments*. 
Its roots, which are perennial, ftrike deeply into the fand, or among the pebbles, and it is probable that by 
this means the plant may be preferved in very fevere feafons; Mr. Licnrroor regards it as one of the moft 
beautiful of our Britifh plants, fuch it undoubtedly is, and on that account highly deferving of culture; yet we 
rarely find it'in the gardens of the curious, and this we attribute to its culture not being well underftood ; we 
have taken. much pains to have this plant in perfe&ion, and, having fucceeded, recommend the following 
mode. : 
If your plant has been taken proper care of, it will produce abundance of feeds, moft of which will be ripe 
by the end of Auguft; gather them as they ripen, for if you flay till thofe from the laft-blown flowers are fit, 
thofe from the firft will have fallen out of the flower-cups; fow them either early in. September or the enfuing 
February, in a pot of earth compofed of three parts fea fand (or, in lieu thereof, common fand) and one 
part rotten cow dung, finely fifted ; in about fix weeks or two months from the February fowing thefe feeds 
will vegetate, and in the Autumn the plants will be fit to tranfplant into feparate pots, and moft of them will 
flower the enfuing year; fnails and flugs are uncommonly fond of this plant ; if you, therefore, plant it in the 
open border, it will in all probability be deftroyed ; for thefe animals not -only devour the plant when fully 
green, but eat out the buds on their firft appearance ; fo that you lofe your plants without knowing the caufe : 
having them in pots, you can guard them better from their ravages; fet them with your green-houfe plants, , 
and treat them as fuch, they will not difgrace your collection ; water them over the leaves as little as may be, 
for the water is apt to fettle on them in drops, and to leave marks which greatly disfigure them. 
Rav refers to Parkinson’s figure of this plant with a query; though a very rude one, it is undoubtedly 
intended for it; of the feveral figures publifhed fince, that of DitLenivs is certainly the beft, though deficient 
_in expreffing its habit. | IM » 
From the appearance of the foliage, one would not be induced to place it with the a/perzfo/e ; a magnifying 
glafs, however, fhews on many parts of it a manifeft roughnefs ; much lefs would we fufpe&t that poifon lurked 
under fuch an elegant form, yet the refpectable teftimony of Dr. Brain fully confirms it; the following account 
is taken from his Mi/cellaneous Obfervations, p. 55.— 1 am credibly informed by a gentleman not far from 
« hence, that in the late famine, one of his farmers being flraitned for bread, taking this plant for Colewort 
* (to which it is not unlike in colour) ordered to boil a difh of it, and gave it to his wife and children, with 
the fervants in his family; all of them became very fick, fome vomited exceffively, others flept two or three 
« days without intermiffion, and one or two of them died.” | | . 
* Mentioned by Ray as growing at Scrammerfton-Mill, between the Salt-Pans and Berwick, on the fea beach, about a mile and a half from 
Berwick; alfo near Whitehaven in Cumberland, and againít Bigger in the //le of Walney in Lancafbire, plentifully, Mr. Lawson ; (near Zrefartben 
in Anglefea, and in abundance by the river Uyfzi in the way trom Dinardindle to Clynog in Carnarvenfbire, Mr. Luwyp ;) in feveral places along 
tlie fouth fide of the Firth of Forth, Dr. SrBBALD ; on the fea-coalt of Scotland not unfrequent, growing out of ftony beaches which feem incapable 
of affording vegetation, as on the coatt of Fife, near S7. Andrews, &c. in the //fe of Bute, upon a fandy fhore in Arran, at Lich Ranfa, and at - 
Lamlafb, at Icolumbkill, and at Glenelg in Invernefsfbire, Licatroor Scot, at the ferry on the fea fhore near Inverne/s, in great plenty, Mr. Drcksox.
