and October in the woods of Bannat, and the neighbourhood 
of Crajova in Wallachia. It was cultivated in England two 
hundred years ago by Parkinson, who had also C. reticulatus 
v. albicans which inhabits the steppes near Bucharest, in 
Wallachia, as well as S. Podolia and the vicinity of Odessa, 
and is called by him Cloth of Silver Crocus. He probably 
obtained both by way of Constantinople from Wallachia, but 
both have been long lost in this country. I have latel 
received reticulatus albicans from Odessa, and Bucharest. C. 
Byzantinus is very remarkable from the smallness of its 
petals compared with the sepals. The outline is taken from 
a dry specimen kindly lent me by Monsieur Gay. I have as 
yet failed in my attempts to obtain the living plant. 
Fig. 3. C. Tournefortianus is described in the mise. of this 
volume at p. 6. It is remarkable by its milk-white anthers. 
Crocus Ionicus of Corfu has similar bulbcoats, and is allied 
to it. 
Fig. 4. C. Cambessedianus is a singular little autumnal 
Crocus peculiar to Majorca, kindly communicated to me by 
Monsieur Gay, by whom it was named. 
Fig. 5. C. Medius grows in the mountain meadows near 
Varese in Liguria, and some parts of the Riviera of Genoa. 
It was named by Balbi, as intermediate between Sativus and 
. Pyrenzus, but it is in fact a link between Byzantinus and 
Pyrenæus. 
_ Fig. 6. Concerning C. Cartwrightianus consult misc. of 
this volume, p. 4; concerning C. Clusianus, p. 7. 
Fig. 7. I can now add concerning Crocus Ionicus, cormi 
tunicas C. Tournefortiano conformes, foliis valdé angustis; and 
concerning Crocus Gargaricus, var. panchrysus, limbo brevi 
obtuso saturaté aureo non striato, foliis 4-5 hvsteranthiis. 
The anthers of C. Gargarieus differ from those of all 
the varieties of C. lagenæflorus. C, lagenzflorus antheris 
superne attenuatis divaricantibus, C. Gargaricus antheris 
Superne non attenuatis suberectis. I failed of obtaining 
the citron-coloured plant of Dr. Clarke’s herbarium, of which 
the flower is accompanied by the leaves, and is probably later 
than the Golden. Mr. Lander, who kindly procured for me 
the Golden C. Gargaricus, and some other bulbs from Mt. 
Gargarus, visited it earlier in the spring than Dr. Clarke, and 
missed C, Candidus also.
