PAINTED CUP: A genus of the angiospermia order, belonging to the diandria clas of plants; and in the natural method ranking under the 40th order, Perforate. The calyx is bilobous, emarginated and coloured; the corolla less coloured than the calyx, with its upper lip longer than the under one. The viscosa or marshy, called also yellow marsh eyebright, was found by Mr Lightfoot in bogs and marshy places about Loch-Goyl, near Loch-Long in the district of Cowal in Argyleshire. The plant is about ten or twelve inches high, with an erect stalk downy and unbranched: the leaves are sessile, spear-shaped, and a little viscos; the flowers are yellow, and the plant dries black. It is likewise found in marshy places in Cornwall in England. The alpina, or mountain eyebright cow-wheat, hath heart-shaped leaves placed opposite, and bluntly serrated, with purple blossoms in leafy spikes. It is likewise a native of Britain, and is found near rivulets in hilly countries. Sheep and goats eat it. There are two other species.
