This is a beautiful plant whose leaves are large with white spots, the
plant has rosy flowers which become violet-blue as days go by. It is a
common plant of woods and its name is due to the similarity of its leaves
with lungs and to its presumed properties to cure their diseases.
Use The leaves and the softest tops are used to prepare salads, even
if they are a bit hairy, otherwise they can be cooked in soups.
