of blue, red, purple, and white flowers. Like other biennials, it may either be sown where it is to remain any

C. speculum and hybrida are annual border flowers of considerable beauty. 
464. Lobelia. In honor of M. Lobel, author of various works, and particularly of that called Icones Plant- 
arum ; he was born at Lisle in 1538, became physician and botanist to James I., and died in London in 1616. 
This genus furnishes some of our most splendid herbaceous plants, as L. cardinalis, fulgens, and splendens.

cardinalis is given at length by Justice, who designates it " a flower of most handsome appearance, and which 
should not be wanting in curious gardens, on account of the rich color of its flowers." The culture of L.
