Dwarfer: lvs. lanceolate: frs. subglobose.—This species and also the following are often confounded with L. europaeum and L. barbarum, which are chiefly distinguished by the filaments being glabrous at the base, by the longer tube and by the narrower and smaller lvs. They are not hardy N. and are rare in cult, while L. halimifolium and the following are hardy.
