I' The Pulmonaria maritima is found abundantly on many parts of our fea-coafts, yet not generally; like the
WLrambe maritima j it has’ its IpCal attachments*.
I- Its roots, which are perennial, ftrike deèply into the fand, or among the pebbles, and it is probable that by
■ this means the plant may be preferved in very fevere feafohs; 'Mr. L ightfoot regards it as one of. the moft
I beautiful of our Britilh plants, fuch it undoubtedly is, and on that account highly aeferving of culture; yet we
■ rarely find it in the gardens of the curious, and this we attribute to its culture not being well underftóod we
■ have taken much pains to have this plant in perfe&ion, and, having fucceeded, recommend the following
gaode; °
!■ : If y°ur plant has been taken proper care of, it will produce abundance of feeds, moft of which will be ripe
■ by the end ofAuguft; gather them as they ripen, for if you flay till thofe from the laft-blown flowers are fit,
■ hole from the firft will have fallen, out of the flower-cups; fow them either early in September or the enfuing
I February, in a pot of earth compófed "of three parts fea fand (or, in lieu thereof, common fand) and one
mart rotten cow dung, finely lifted ; in about fix weeks or two months from the February fowing thefe feeds
vegJ-tate, and in the Autumn the plants will be fit to tranfplant into feparate pots, and moft of them will
■ ower the enfuing year; fnails and flugs are uncommonly fond of this plant; if you, therefore, plant it in the
■ pen border, it will in ill probability be deftroyed; for thefe animals not only devour the plant when fully
■ green, but eat out the buds on their firft appearance ; fo that you lofe your plants without knowing the caufe :
a aving them in pots,- you can guard them better from their ravages; let them with yOur green-houfe plants,
H r treat them as .fuch, they tfvill not difgrace your colle&ion ; water them over the leaves as little as may -be,
■ ri e water is apt to fettle on them in drops, and to- leave marks which greatly disfigure them.
Hint V j f - t0 Farkinson’s figure of this plant with a. query; though a very rude one, it is undoubtedly
I • en e°J0r f t f ° f the feveral figures publifiied fince, that of D illenius is certainly the beft, though deficient
exprefling «s habit. - 1
■ elaf^h* aPPearance ° f the foliage, one would not be induced to place;it with the ajperifoliar; a magnifying
■ unde I t S I ^ ews on mahy parts of it a manifeft roughnefs ; much lefs would we fufpeét that poifon lurked
1; js ^an elegant form, yet the refpe&able teftimony of Dr. B lair fully confirms it; the following account
■ « jj D rt?m Mifcvllaneous Obferv'ations, p. 55.-—" I am credibly informed by a gentleman not far .from
B e Y t^le late famine, one of his farmers being ftraitned for bread, faking this plant for Colewort

■ without intermiflion, and one or two'of them died.”
