We are indebted to Mr. AnpvERsON, of Tooley-Street, for 
feveral {pecimens of this rare fpecies, the bulbs of which were 
imported by him from Sicily and flowered in April. Comes 
very near to ge/neriana, but differs in the more oblong 
contraéted form of the corolla, the bafe of which is turbinately 
convergent and not broadly rounded as in that; the proportions 
of their organs of fruétification are alfo fomewhat different. 
Has been known. in our gardens as far back as the days of 
Parkinson and Gerarp; by whom it was efteemed tenderer 
and more difficult to preferve than others of its congeners, 
Found wild in the vicinities of Florence and Madrid, pro- 
bably alfo in Sicily and Portugal. G,
