7. CROCUS Sibthorpianus ; varietates. 
C. Sibthorpianus, v. Stauricus; c. parvulo, tun. omnibus membranaceis 
mollibus pallidè badiis demum lacerè ad basim parallelo-fibrosis, foliaceä 
exteriore (ni fallor) prope basim proximä parum altiüs affixà, foliis 2-4 
vel ultra angustis, scapo nudo, spathà hyaliná, bracteá æquali inferne 
tubatá, germine brevi albicante tubo saturaté violaceo, limbo (in sicco) 
albo intus violascente 4 unc. filamentis 4, antheris semuncialibus stig- 
mata paucifida irregularia fimbriaté dilatata aurantiaca ferè æquantibus. 
Variat limbo saturatè violaceo (in sicco) inferne luteo. Ex monte Koolak? 
seu Gulat? Dagh dicto inter Alpes Trapezunticas. 
— v. pulchricolor ; limbo saturaté violaceo, inferne luteo. 
Ex Olympo Bithynico. 
For these plants and dry specimens of their flowers I am 
indebted to J. Cartwright, Esq. and the Vice-consul at 
Trebizond. The Koolak Dagh plants flower in June, and the 
Olympic in May, on the melting of the snow. If they should 
prove specifically distinct from the Cretan Sibthorpianus when 
more fully known, I propose to retain the name pulchricolor 
as specific, and Stauricus, as subordinate for the whiter 
flower ; if all three should be found distinct, of course the 
three names will stand. I cannot perceive the conspicuous 
yellow throat of the Olympic in the whiter Koulak flowers, 
and such a diversity is not usual amongst the varieties of one 
species, but, as far as I can investigate the bulbs in an imper- 
fect state, they appear identical.—W. H. 
8. CROCUS Suterianus. 
C. Suterianus ; cormo parvulo in agrestibus, tunica precipuá (vaginacea, 
puto) dura glabra crustaceo-membranaceà badiá a basi medium tenus 
demum parallelo-lacerè incisá, proximá interiore dura glabra integra 
basi regulari c. medio circiter vel infra affixa, ceteris apiculatis duris 
obscuris basi dimidiatà vel magis imperfecta, quibusdam connatis, foliis 
angustis, scapo nudo, spatha bracteä involvente non tubatä, pedunculo 
elongato, perianthio parvo saturatè flavo (in sicco coccineo-aurantiaco) 
limbo vix ultra semunciali antheras stylo in sicco concolore stigmate 
paucifido breviores æquante. Flore verno ex Ancyrarum vicini, sæpis- 
simè triflorus.—W. H. 
This new species, at the request of Mr. Cartwright, was 
kindly obtained for me by Henry Suter, Esq. Vice-consul at 
Kaisarich in Caramania, from Angora in Anatolia, through 
the agency of the quarantine doctor at that place, who is, 1 
believe, an Armenian. It was accompanied by bulbs of 
another small deep yellow Crocus, nearly agreeing in struc-
