bears more than three or four flowers. A native of Alfatia, 
Siberia, Switzerland, Italy, Provence, and the Pyrenees. 
Ge tin fays, that the roots are eaten both by the Ruffian and 
native inhabitants of Siberia and the adjacent countries. For 
a variety not bu!b-bearing, fee above (No. 36). We have not 
added Tuunsere’s Japan plant to our fynonymy, as he is not 
always to be relied on in that department. We fufpeé the 
Siberian fpecies to be at leaft as diftin& as pen/ylvanicum (fee 
above No. 519). Cultivated here in 1629. 
It is needlefs to add any defcription of this well-known 
common inhabitant of our gardens. Some of the varieties 
flower much earlier than others. Some are conftantly bulb- 
bearing, others as conftantly not. Both MiiieR and Jacguin 
have amply defcribed this fpecies. G,
