Our drawing of this pretty Crocus was taken from a 
a communicated by Josern Sainz, . from the 
orticultural Society’s garden at Chiswick, in March, 
1819, by whom the bulbs had been previously presented 
to the society. 
The colour of the tube and the streaks on the outer la- 
cinie have sometimes a greenish tinge. 
If this be only a variety of the common yellow Crocus, 
it ought to have been called mesiacus or luteus. But, as 
we cannot determine this question, we prefer giving it 
under the name we received it, as it may certainly be con- 
sidered as the representation of an authentic specimen of 
the variety y of Haworrn’s lageneflorus, which is variety 
« of Sauispury. :
