M. Jauvy, and of Nice, by M. Suffren. From the environs 
of the latter place, the roots, from one of which the annexed 
drawing was made, were brought, in 1824, by the Earl of 
Aberdeen, by whom they were presented to the Horticul¬ 
tural Society. 
Clusius’s tigure of his “ Hyacinthus orientalis nokvuvOeg 
alter,” sent to him by Jacques Plateau, seems to be this 
plant in precisely the same state as now represented. 
We do not find that any coloured figure of the wild 
Hyacinth has been previously published. 
A hardy border bulbous plant, flowering in March and 
April.
