sometimes finely serrated. Cup segments towards the base serrated with 
minute teeth, but my specimens do not show the livid tooth on each side 
the base mentioned by Linnseus. Blossom conical, larger, more of a 
reddish purple than in the preceding species, more expanded at the 
mouth, segments recurved, and each marked with three lines. Whether 
the plant be in flower or not, these observations are sufficient to discri¬ 
minate it from C. rotundifolia. (Well marked by its panicled inflores¬ 
cence, and veined, spreading corolla : radical leaves quickly withering and 
falling off, as in the preceding species. Hook. E.)

( Root fusiform, milky, rather pungent; when cultivated milder. Stem two to 
three feet high. E.) Fruit-stalks generally growing by threes, the middle 
one the longest. Linn. Resembles C. patula in the roughness of its angu¬ 
lar stem, its milky juice, the size of its blossoms, and the three lines on 
their segments, but may be distinguished from it by the flowers and 
fruit-stalks being nearly upright, not expanding; by the segments of the 
calyx being bristle-shaped, not spear-shaped; and by the stipulae on the 
fruit-stalks being very slender and half the length of the fruit-stalk, whilst 
in C. patula they are spear-shaped and short. Blossom purplish blue, 
sometimes very pale.
