We hhall be thought, perhaps, too partial to this tribe of 
plants, this being the fifth fpecies now figured; but it fhould 
be remembered, that as the {pring does not afford that va- 
riety of flowers which the fummer does, we are more limited — 
in our choice; the flowers of this delightful feafon have alfo 
greater claims. to our notice, they prefent themfelves with 
double charms. 
This fpecies, which, as its name implies, poffeffes more 
fragrance than many of the others, is a native of the South of 
Europe, flowers in the open border in April, is a hardy 
perennial, thriving in almoft any foil or fituation, but fuc- 
ceeds beft in a loamy foil and eaftern expofure. Varies 
with double flowers, in which flate it is often ufed for 
forcing. : 
No notice is taken of this fpecies by Mriier, except as 4 
variety of the N. Fonquilla, from which it differs tora cals.
