| + | Onosmodium (like Onosma, a European genus of this family). Boraginaceae. False Gromwell. About 10 species of N. American and Mexican branching herbs, mostly or wholly perennial, bristly, 1-4 ft. high, rarely transferred to cult, grounds: Lvs. oblong, sessile, rib-veined: fls. white, greenish or yellowish, in long, erect, leafy, raceme-like clusters; corolla tubular or oblong-funnel-shaped, with throat naked, the lobes erect, acute, the sinuses more or less inflexed; style filiform or capillary, very long; stigma exserted before the corolla opens: nutlets ovoid or globular, bony, smooth and polished, white. Closely related to Lithospermum. None of the species seems now to be in the trade; the names and descriptions may be found in the manuals of native plants. They are of little value horticulturally. |
