Read about Krynitzkia in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Krynitzkia. (Prof. J. Krynitzki, of Cracow). Boraginaceae. Annual and some perennial herbs, with small flowers nearly always white, two of which have been listed for wild-gardens and borders.

Closely allied to Eritrichium, with which the genus has been united; by other writers the genus is broken up in Allocarya, Cryptanthe and Oreocarya. As defined by Gray, the characters are founded mostly on technical features of the nutlet. The species are mostly natives of the W. U. S., and of small promise horticulturally, being usually coarse herbs.
