Differs from mefiacus in having the filaments devoid of all 
_ pubefcence, the anthers ‘not fo remarkably divaricate nor the 
filaments fo clofely preffed to each other, the ftigmas longer, 
not flattened nor crefted and fringed; from vernus again in 
having a bivalved fpathe and the mouth of the tube of the 
corolla without any glandular pubefcence ; as well as in feveral 
other charaéteriftics. It is the moft fragrant fpecies known to 
us, having a fcent refembling that of the Violet. | We fufpeét 
it to be a native of the South of France. The bulb-tuber 1s 
large and covered with dark brown fcariofe membranes ftreaked 
with clofe ftraight parallel nerves. In this genus two fertile 
bulbs are generally evolved from the fummit of the mother- | 
bulbs but thefe are fometimes grown into one; when the num- 
ber of leaves and flower-ftalks are doubled, although that of 
the root-fheaths remains the fame. G.
