In the parcels of Bulbs of this genus, which are annually import- 

 ed from thence by the Seedfmen, we have never met with any 

 others than thofe of italicus, papyracrus (No. 947) and the 

 two varieties of orientalis already figured in Nos. 1011 and 

 1026. Tazetta was never among them. All four being fo 

 very clofely allied, and having been ufually confidered as 

 mere varieties of each other, we mail recapitulate fuch marks 

 as we think are fufficient to diftinguifh them by, referring to 

 the figures above quoted for their difference in colour. G.
