Describe the plant here... {{Inc| Jurinea (named for Louis Jurine, 1751-1819, professor of medicine). Compdsitae. Herbs or sub- shrubs, one of which is offered for the wild garden: lvs. gray or white-tomentose beneath or on both sides, pinnate or entire, unarmed: fls. purple: achenes 4-5- sided, seldom compressed, crowned with a pappus of unequal rough hairs.—Over 50 species from Cent, and S. Eu., N. W. Afr., to Cent. Asia. None of the species is of great horticultural value, although sometimes cult. They thrive in any ordinary garden soil and are prop, by seeds or division of the roots in spring. J. alata, Cass. Height 3-4 ft.: perennial, or according to Boissier, biennial: st. erect, winged below, 1-1 ½ft. high: radical lvs. 6 in. long, oblong and lyrate, nearly glabrous above and canescent beneath: st.-lvs. lanceolate, sinuatcdentate, decurrent: heads hemispherical, long-peduncled, the involucre-bracts narrow-linear and the outer ones short-mucronulate and the apex spreading; florets purplish blue: achene 4-angled and muricate, the pappus exceeding it. Caucasus. J.H. III. 66:442. While J. alata is definitely described as biennial and as reaching a height of 18 in. in cult., the plant grown under this name, and which is apparently correctly determined, is said to be perennial and to grow 3-4 ft. high, having a silvery aspect in the foliage.
