sepal. In one of our native specimens, however, also “e monte 
Hymetto Attice,’ from Heldreich, marked as a var., the green 
line is quite obsolete, and the whole perianth is a chocolate- 
brown. The most essential distinguishing characters, we pre- 
sume, are given above in italics. It is only in a note upon 
specimens from Boissier himself, in our herbarium, that he has 
attached the remark that this plant is the /. tw/ipifolia of ‘Flora 
Greeca,’ not of M. Bieberstein: that synonym is not given in 
the ‘ Diagnoses.’ 
Descr. Root a small, subglobose 4u/é. Stem a span (more or 
less) high, slender, erect, terete. Root-/eaves from young bulbs 
four to five inches long, lanceolate, tapering into a petiole. 
Cauline /eaves, in our plants and specimens, four to six or seven 
in number, mostly five, elliptical or linear-lanceolate, nearly erect, 
striated, the upper ones gradually smaller, uppermost one arising 
from the base of the peduncle. //owers solitary, rarely two, 
smaller than those of F. Meleagris, and less campanulate. Sepals 
elliptical, slightly apart when fully open, tawny or ferruginous- 
brown, spotted but scarcely tessellated, with a dorsal green line 
continued to the projection which constitutes the nectary at the 
base ; the margin is also pale-green. Stamens shorter than the 
sepals, and rather shorter than the pistil. Ovary oblong. Style 
short, longer than the ovary, and nearly twice as long as the 
branches of the style.
