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. Lightfoot regards it as one of the mofl 
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 underflood ; we 
have taken much pains to have this plant in perfection, and, having fucceedcd, recommend the following 
mode. 
If your plant has been taken proper care of, it will produce abundance of feeds, mofl: 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 firlt 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 lifted ; 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 moll of them will 
flower the enfuing year ; fnails and Hugs 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 ; lo that you lofe your plants without knowing the caufe : 
having them in pots, you can guard them better from their ravages ; let them with your green-houfe plants, 
and treat them as fuch, they will not dilgrace 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. 
. Ra , y , re / ers . to Parkinson’s figure of this plant with a query; though a very rude one, it is’ undoubtedly 
intended for it; of the leveral figures pubhfhed fince, that of Dillenius is certainly the belt, thouo-h deficient 
in expreffing its habit. 0 
From the appearance of the foliage, one would not be induced to place it with the afperifoliat ; a masmifvimr 
glafs, however, fhews on many parts of it a manifeft roughnefs ; much lefs would we fufpeCt that poifon lurked 
under fuch an elegant form, yet the refpeclable teftimony of Dr. Blair fully confirms it; the following account 
is taken from his Mtfcdlaneous Obfirvattons p 55 .—« I am credibly informed by a gentleman not °far from 
hence that m the late famine, one of his farmers being flraitned for bread, taking this plant for Colewort
