Candia Lions-foot; a genus of the polygamia equalis order, belonging to the syngenesia class of plants. There are three species, of which the cerulea is the most remarkable. This leads out many long, narrow, hairy leaves, which are jagged on their edges like those of the buckhorn plantain, but broader; the jags are deeper, and at greater distances; these lie flat on the ground, turning their points upwards. Between the leaves come out the flower-stalks, which are in number proportionable to the size of the plants; for, from an old thriving root, there are frequently eight or ten, while young plants do not send out above two or three. These stalks rise near two feet high, dividing into many small branches upward, garnished with leaves like those below, but smaller, and without jags on their edges; each of these smaller branches are terminated by single heads of flowers, of a fine blue colour. This is a perennial plant, and may be propagated by seeds or slips. The seeds may be sown, in the spring, on a bed of common earth; and, in the autumn following, the plants may be removed to the places where they are to remain. The seeds ripen in August. This plant is a pretty ornament in gardens, and is easily kept within bounds.
