Lindelofia longiflora, Gurke (L. speciabilis, Lehm. Cynoglossum longiflorum, Benth.). Pilose: lvs. Oblong acuminate, the upper ones heart-shaped or clasping at the base: fls. deep blue; tube ¼ in  long and lobes shorter. B.R. 26:50. J.H. III. 31:235. Var. afghanica, Hort., is offered, 1 ft., of spreading habit. G.W. 10, p. 90. — The species is variable, particularly in size of corolla. It usually grows about 2 ft., flowering freely in May and later. The racemes are about 6 in. long, and have 8-12 fls. The plant is likely to be winter-killed unless given a sheltered place, good drainage and winter covering. It is not fastidious as to soil. Easily prop, by division. It seeds freely and flowers the second year from seed.
