Lithospermum fruticosum, Linn. (L.prostratum, Lois.). Gentian-blue Gromwell. Subshrub, dwarf, trailing or prostrate, evergreen: lvs. lanceolate-linear, margin somewhat revolute: fls. deep blue striped red-violet, in terminal leafy spikes; tube of corolla pubescent outside, densely villous at apex, much exceeding the calyx. S. Eu. Gn. 45, p. 135. J.H. 111.32:475. G.C. III. 30:238. G.M.57:455. G.36:619. H.U. II 7:38.—Correvon states that L. prostratum, which comes from the W. Pyrenees, is different from L. fruticosum; it is a low running species rather than erect- growing (as he defines L. fruticosum to be), covering the soil, and the lvs. are more lanceolate, shorter, broader, and reflexed at the edges: it is destroyed by limestone, which is not the case with L. fruticosum.
