Leaves egg-oblong, sessile, bluntish. One flower in the bosom of each of 
the three upper leaves, the others forming a terminal cluster. Linn. 
{Root branched, fibrous. Stem varying in height from one to eighteen 
inches, more commonly attaining towards the latter standard, hoary 
with deflexed hairs. {Leaves hoary, upper ones more acute, amplexi- 
caul. E.) The lower leaves on the larger plants on long leaf-stalks, and 
sometimes heart-shaped at the base. Calyx segments hairy, sometimes 
toothed. Blossom (erect, one third the size of the last, E.) blue, or 
white ; not unfrequently both on the same plant; hairy within. Stamens 
either four or five. Style long, woolly, slightly cloven either into two or 
three, fleshy, villose, spear-shaped summits. 
In the humid climate of Kendal, Mr. Gough has observed this species two 
feet high, with a trailing stem, green, and but little hairy. I have gathered 
it when growing on a high and very dry soil, as on the summit of Aston 
Down in the Isle of Wight, only from one to two inches high, (see PI. 11. 
f. 8.) when it can scarcely be said to have a stem, and bears only one or two 
flowers, with four stamens and frequently but two summits. Mr. Watt 
brought me a series of specimens from the Isle of Wight from one to ten 
inches high, and Mr. Turner informs me that on barren limestone hills 
in Norfolk it is equally diminutive; though the blossom, as he observes, 
is as large as in the largest specimens. E.)

Leaves with five to eight teeth, but not properly lobed. Stackh. The 
delicacy and transparency of this elegant little plant sufficiently separate 
it from all our other species. Blossoms pale blue, (half an inch long, termi¬
