the limb being unstreaked, and its flowers different in form, 
rising often before the leaf. All those I have had from 
Gargarus, and from Angora, are deep golden; but most of Dr. 
Clarke and Yalden's dry specimens, were lemon-coloured. 
— C. reticulatus, v. albicans, is old Parkinson's cloth of silver 
Crocus, a native of the dry steppes, and probably lost by too 
much wet since his time. 
C. vallicola, f. 3, comes from the hollow elevated vallies 
near the summit of the Alps of Trebizond, near Stauros, 
where it flowers in September, where the snow does not 
melt till June. C. cancellatus, fig. 4, is a beautiful and very 
variable autumnal crocus. It was found with purple flowers 
by Kotschy, on Mt. Taurus, behind Tarsus, near the lead 
mines, and I have specimens from thence, also, of a very pale 
colour. From Mt. Delphi, in Negropont, I obtained the 
var. f. 4, which is similar to that 1 called Naupliensis. The 
var. Mazziaricus was first discovered by Signor Mazziari, 
white, with a yellow throat, on a low hill, Phaneromeni, in 
St. Maura. I found it more plentiful in Megaoros in that 
island, and on Mt. Rhoodi and Mt. Enos, in Cephalonia, 
at the height of 3000 feet and upwards, and I find no two 
exactly similar; the ground being always white with a 
yellow throat, the outside often more or less streaked with 
purple lines, in some very richly. ‘The seeds are large. 
C. Hadriaticus, f. 7, is from Albania, near Janina, where 
it flowers in the autumn, and beginning of the winter. At 
Spofforth, it flowered at the end of September, and the very 
beginning of October, in 1846, which those, f. 8 and 9, from 
St. Maura, did not do. "The difference between them is not 
considerable. In both countries there is an unstreaked 
variety. The plant has not been found elsewhere, except in 
the isles of Scorpio and Meganissi, and is very scarce in 
Chrysobeloni, and confined to a very small space. It hasa 
truncate fragrant style.—C. Boryanus was so insufficiently 
described by Gay and Bory, that it could not be identified 
from their descriptions. The most striking feature, the milk- 
white anthers, was overlooked, and I found the only mode of 
identifying it was tosend a person to Navarino, to seek the 
plant where Bory found it. I am now able to state, that C. 
lonicus, and C. Veneris of Tappeiner, are one with Boryanus. 
In Corfu, the plant is poorer, and has much smaller flowers ; 
it improves in St. Maura, but those from the red earth of 
the Morea are much more vigorous ; and I have it from the 
neighbourhood of Coron, with the limb above two inches long, 
while in the Corfu plant it scarcely exceeds one. It was 
found near Navarino, Modon, Coron, on Mt. Evan, Mt. 
Ithome, and the lower hills of Taygetus, and near Zeitun, and 
on Mt. Scopo, in Zante. "The collector of the Unio, found it 
on Mt. Enos, I conclude near the base towardsthe sea. I did 
not see it in Cephalonia. —W. H.
