the end; it bears more flowers, which are more eernuous 
and do not open so wide, but remain more campanulate. 
The synonymy of these plants is extremely confused, 
Repovté’s Liliacez, t. 298 is quoted in the Flora Caucasica, 
as a synonym of cernua, though it certainly represents the 
amena of the Botanical Magazine. In this work there are 
iwo figures under the name of ScinLa amena ; the other 
tab. 130, apparently represents our present plant, differing 
little, except in its greater number of leaves. 
If Scitxa cernua of the Flora Caucasica be the same spe- 
cies, itis very common throughout all middle Russia, where 
spontaneous specimens bear generally one or two flowers, 
very rarely three.

Chelsea garden, who raised a number of plants from seeds 
sent by Mr. Orro of the Berlin garden, under the name 
of Scinza amenula.
