 1. 29, lately publiflied by Mr. Marshal von Bieberstein) 

 as well as thofe in that of G. byzantimts No. 874. Stem from 

 one to near three feet high ; flowers 6 — 20. Hardy and of eafy 

 culture. The prefent variety is by far the raoft ornamental, but 

 lefs frequent in our gardens than the one publifhed in No. 85. 

 Communis differs from byzg-ntimis^ in having the flowers fo inclined 

 as to form a fmgle flexuofe rank, the fpathes bent forward 

 beyond the rachis and mutually inclining towards each other ; 

 while in that the fpike is arranged in two diftant rows with di- 

 verging fpathes that are parallel with the rachis; in communis the 

 two lateral upper fegments of the corolla are obtufe and mu- 

 cronate, and the two lower lateral ones fhorter and narrower 

 than their middle one, which is not the cafe in byzantinus, 

 Segetnm differs from both, befides in the diftinclion of the feed 

 already mentioned in No. 719, in having the upper fide- 

 fegments of the corolla much fhorter than any of the reft, the 

 upper middle one wholly elevated over thefe and twice the 

 broadeft of any, and the three lower ones equal to each other in 

 length and nearly fo in breadth. Mr. Schulte, in the work 

 above quoted, has feparated this plant from his communis^ (the 

 Jegetum of this work,) under the name of negleclus ; he fays, that 

 both are found in the neighbourhood of Cracow, and that this 

 flowers nearly a month later than the other. Our drawing was 

 made at the Nurfery of Meffrs. Gibbs, Brompton. G.
