Mulgedium (name alludes to the milky juice). Compositae. A group by most authors united with Lactuca, but differing in the blue to white rays, and the oblong mostly beaked achene. It is also closely allied to Sonchus. Some species are offered as outdoor garden herbs; annual, biennial and perennial. Plants of easy culture. The following species might properly be included in the account of Lactuca, although the nomenclature of some of the garden forms is open to doubt.

M. Bourgaei, Boiss.-Lactuca Bourgaei, described on p. 1766.— M. giganteum, Hort. (Lactuca gigantea, Hort.) Perennial, 6-8 ft.: fls. blue-violet, paniculate. Probably of garden origin, or a form of some robust species.—M. Plumieri, DC. (Lactuca Plumieri, Gren. & Godr.). Perennial, glabrous: st. erect: lvs. runcinate-pinnatifid, somewhat glaucous beneath: panicle sub-corymbose, bearing rather large blue-rayed heads. Mountains of Cent. and S. Eu.
