rillensis, and grows on the heights near the coast of Peru, a 
little to the N. of Lima, at Chorillos, intermixed with a Pit- 
cairnia and a white Anthericum. A. lineatiflora of Ruiz is a 
vigorous Chilian (not a Peruvian) plant, with acute oval 
leaves an inch and three quarters wide. There can be no 
doubt of the difference between the Chorillensis and the Ligtu 
of Bot. Reg. 1839, 13; but the form and texture of the leaves 
separate Chorillensis more widely from Ruiz's lineatiflora, 
which is not stated to have glossy leaves. I consider the Ligtu 
of the Bot. Mag. not to be the true plant of Feuillé, which I 
still hope to obtain from Conception, whence we have had few 
plants; and I have long named it A. Lindleyana, allied to A. 
pulchra, not, as printed by mistake, 1843, misc. 94, to pul- 
chella.—W. H. 
7. CROCUS vernus. 
It is stated by Dr. B. Biasoletto of Trieste ( Relazione, 
$c. 1841) that Crocus vernus, which appears always to affect 
very elevated flat places, is found in profusion in Dalmatia, 
on a flat between the highest point of the Triglaw, and of 
Sweti Jure (St. George) which is 5521 feet high, flowering 
amidst withered grass in June. He also cites C. biflorus 
Mill. C. Pallasianus, and C. minimus of Rchb. ic. pl. cit. as 
- found in either Istria or Dalmatia; but the accurate recog- 
nition of the species may perhaps be doubted. W.-H. 
8. CROCUS Cartwrightianus.

Our colourer has inadvertently left out the purple star 
‘and prolonged purple lines on the inside of this flower, and 
the dark purple lines at the base of the limb of C. Pallasianus.

angustis obtusis emarginatis undulatis, sepalis petalisque acuminatis,
