the plant with blue flowers resembling those of Chicory which is gener- 
ally named L. macro pliylJa (Willd.) A. Gray. The taxonomy of the group 
is not easy and is complicated bj' the long hortal history of these garden 
plants and confusion of American and Caucasian species by early botan- 
ists residting in nonienclatural problems. At least one other species has 
occurred several times as an established alien in Britain and Mr Edees’
