Pentandria . 
Pulmonaria. Gen. char. — Cor. funnel-shaped, 
with an open throat ; cal. prismatic, five angled. 
Pul. Officinalis , Common Lungwort ; cal. of the same 
length as the tube ; leaves ovate, rough ; perennial ; 
flowers in May, is common in gardens, and sometimes 
appeal’s in woody places. 
Pul. Maritima , Sea Bugloss, or Lungwort ; cal. 
shortened ; leaves ovate, azure-coloured ; stem branch- 
ing, procumbent ; perennial ; flowers in J uly, and with 
its beautiful blue and red flowers, contrasted with ele- 
gantly-waved azure leaves, adorns the sandy shores of 
the western coasts of Scotland and north of England. 
Myosotis. Gen. char. Cor. salver-shaped, five cleft, 
slightly notched, throat closed with arches. 
Myos. Scorpioides , Mouse-ear Scorpion-grass ; seeds 
naked, leaves elliptical-lanceolate; racemes many flow- 
ered, without bracteas. A very common plant, and 
greatly diversified in its habits and appearance from 
soil and situation. In dry shady places it is rough and 
hairy, but on a wet soil it is quite smooth. Its beauti- 
ful blue flowers, which are of a fine flesh colour before 
expansion, cannot fail to excite admiration. 
The plants now described, from the roughness of 
the leaves, belong to the natural order asperifolice , or 
rough-leaved plants ; and on examination it will be 
found that a general uniformity of character in other 
respects prevails, and particularly in the evolution of 
the flower stem. 
Primula. Gen. char.— Cap. one celled, mouth ten 
cleft ; tube of the corolla cylindrical, stigma round.
