other Italian Tulip does. A double variety is said to be in 
the Florentine gardens. 
“It is found near Florence in the fields and vineyards 
under S. Miniato; and at a greater distance and in quantity 
at S. Margherita. It is the latest flowering Tulip of its 
class. 
* The leaves are glaucous, more or less waved, sometimes 
much so. Its bad scent is not always present.” 
Mr. Strangways adds, that “ the Aleppo Tulip is distinct 
from that of the Euphrates; and proves to be precisely the 
Italian Oculus solis v. Raddiana, which seems the most gene- 
rally dispersed type of O. solis.”
