to diftinguifli the three by would be : for the firft, " corolla 

 " jex-fartita ;" for the fecond, n corolla fex-fida /' for 

 the third, u corolla fex-crenat a:" as for Ornithogalum 

 fcarce any character remains to diftinguifh it from the firit of 

 the three ; except that the flowers of the fpecies are not blue. 

 Scilla ferotina is a native of Spain, Portugal, and Barbary; 

 and though now a very rare plant in our gardens, has been 

 known in them ever fince the time of Gerard. Flowers in 

 June ; requires the fhelter of a frame. Our drawing was taken 

 at Mr. Woodford's garden. 



Leaves nearly the length of the fcape, attenuately linear, 

 channel-folded, nerved-ftreaked inwards ; fcape bending ; ra- 

 ceme many-flowered ; pedicles recurved fhorter than the 

 corolla; bracles folitary, membranous, rather longer than pe- 

 dicles ; corolla cernuous, cylindric-campanulate, fexpartite for 

 more than three-fourths of the length ; fegments linear-oblong, 

 equal ; outer ones acute, patent ; inner more obtufe, partly 

 coherent ; germen length of the flyles, which are three, and 

 fo clofely fafcicled that they appear like one ; ftigmas obfolete; 

 ftamens finely membranous, linear fubulate, of one piece up 

 to the bafe of the fiffures of the corolla, than which they are 

 about one-fourth fhorter, rather higher than the ftyle. G.
