can it be a garden state of that species? for it seems to be 
known only in gardens. 
Mr. Strangways, to whom I am obliged for an opportu- 
nity of figuring the plant, rightly observes that this is erro- 
neously called by gardeners O. pyramidale, which is a name 
applied by Jacquin to O. Narbonense, which is near our wild 
O. pyrenaicum. He adds, that when fully blown the petals 
of this species are quite white on both sides, never having 
the decided green line found in most Ornithogalums. 
A hardy species, flowering in April and May.
