Linum usitatissimum, Linn. Flax. Much cult, for linseed and for fiber, and running wild along railroads and in fields: 2-3 ft. high, very slender-branched, glabrous: lvs. small, linear or lanceolate, acute, alternate: fls. about ½ in- across, light blue, soon withering: pod large, mostly exceeding the scarious edged sepals, nearly or quite indehiscent, the septa not ciliate. L. humile, Mill., also cult, and sometimes escaped, is lower and has a dehiscent caps. with ciliate septa. It is probably only a form of the above, and it has run wild in this country. — Flax has been cult. from time immemorial, and it is unknown in an originally wild state. Some authorities consider it to be a modified form of L. perenne; others think it to be derived from L. augustifolium, Huds., an annual or perennial species with small fls., short linear lvs., and decumbent st., growing from England to W. Asia. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
