Lobostemon (Greek lobe and stamen: the stamens opposite the corolla-lobes). Boraginaceae. Perennial herbs and shrubs, rough-pubescent or hispid, with alternate sessile often granular lvs., and white or blue fls. mostly in terminal cymes and heads. They are closely allied to Echium: species perhaps 50 in S. Afr. Apparently none is in the trade, although L. formosus, Buek (Echium formosum, Pers. E. grandiflorum, Andr.), is likely to be found in choice collections: shrubby and branched, 3 ft.: Ivs. lanceolate to obovate-lanceolate: fls. reddish changing to blue, in spicate racemes. B.M. 1772. B.R. 36 (both as E. fruticosum). The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
