When we gave an account of the lefier variety of this fpecies 

 in No. 853, its native fource was unknown to u.s. Since then 

 we have leen fpontaneous fpecimens both among the plants 

 Cent by Marlhal v. Bieberstein to Sir [o&eph Banks, as 

 well as in the Herbarium of the Chevalier Pallas^ at Mr. A. 

 B Lambert's ; thofe of the former were gathered on Mount 

 Caucalus ; the names given by each of thefe gentlemen we 

 have added to our fynonymy. 



The above collections contain likewife the Fritillaria. 

 ohliqua of No. 857, to whofe fpontaneous abode we likewife 

 were {hangers. In the firft it is called caucafica alias tnlipiflora, 

 and was alfo found on the above-mentioned mountain (a<* 

 thermas conjlanlino-montanas in Caucafi promontorio boreali.) 1° 

 the latter it has been miftaken for the Linnean pyrenaica (fee 

 No. 664 ;) under which name it is occafionally mentioned by 

 Pallas in his Travels, and was found by him in Ealtern 

 Siberia, in the deferts of the country of the Kirgees, and on 

 the banks of the Wolga. G.
