Jasione (ancient name of no application to this plant). Campanulaceae. Small blue-flowered or rarely white-flowered plants for the border or the rock-garden.
Jasione is easily distinguished from its allies by the fls. being borne in a head with an involucre, the calyx reduced to 5 very slender lobes, the corolla cut into 5- awl-shaped strips, and the anthers somewhat united at their bases; these characters make the infl. to resemble the Composite, but it is readily distinguished by the many-seeded caps.-Species 5 or 6, in Cent, and W. Eu. and the Medit. region. They differ widely in duration and habit. Prop. by division and seed. This includes the shepherd's scabious, a hardy herbaceous perennial plant of compact habit, about a foot high, and bearing globose heads 2 in. diam. composed of very many light blue fls. It is of easy cult, in any garden soil, grows either in full sunlight or partial shade, and is equally adapted for borders, edgings, or the rockery. The common annual scabious (Scabiosa) belongs to the teasel family, and has 4 stamens, while the shepherd's scabious has 5 stamens.
