Ord. Boraginaceae. Sex. Syst. Pentandria Monogynia. The leaves of this plant have been used as demulcents and pectorals; partly from their resemblance to lungs- hence the name, from pulmo, pulmonis, 'the lung'- and partly because they have a slightly mucilaginous taste. The plant is not worthy of notice.
