from. Dr. Regel, but it has not yet flowered with us. The 
Plate was made, partly from a plant sent through Mr. 
Burbidge from the New Plant and Bulb Company of Colches- 
ter, and partly from a very fine specimen forwarded by our 
indefatigable correspondent, Max Leichtlin, Esq., of Baden- 
Baden, who has grown it in Germany with great success. 
The species was gathered in Turkistan by Sewerzow and 
Fedschenko, and was named by Dr. Regel in compliment to 
General Greig, President of the Imperial Russian Horti- 
cultural Wnion. ?
