indefatigable observer, M. Marschall of Bieberstein ; who 

 remarks thoX. fimhriatum is less common than umbellatum in 

 those parts. 



Ornithogalum montanum of the Flora Napolitana of 

 Tenore (1. 176. t. 33.), comes very near to fimhriatum, but 

 there is no mention of any fur belonging to any part of that 

 plant. Exscapum of the same author is also a very near 

 species. 



The segments of the corolla in this section of Ornithoga- 

 lum are so deeply divided, as to appear so many petals, and 

 though they are really connected, they seem as if attached 

 frontwise and separately to the receptacle of the germen. 

 The three outer segments are slightly protuberant at the out- 

 side of the base, and appear as if pouched.
