tioles compressed and keeled, pubescent or glabrous on both sides, dotted — 
with minute black or orange dots and strie, the lateral smaller, oblique

Bulb blackish. Petioles 4-3 inch long, in B. 2-3 inches. Leaflets 3-4 lines long 
and wide, very rarely sub-retuse ; in 8. 7-10 lines long, 5-8 lines wide, the m 
remarkably cuneate. Sepals with orange strize. Corolla g—10 lines, in 8 inch long, 
yellow, the limb dotted with purple along the margin on the outside. Var. B. re. 
sembles 0. variabilis, from which it is easily known by its yellow flowers. 
60. 0. Eckloniana (Presr.! Bot. Bem. p. 29); bulb ovate, brownish ; 
petiole, scape, and calyx hairy ; leaflets rounded, sub-retuse, glabrous 
above, dotted underneath and pilose on the midrib, the margin ciliate with 
long hairs, all sub-equal ; scape equalling or excelling the leaf, bibracte-

Bulb about 4-uncial. Petiole uncial, shorter or longer. Sepals 4 lines long. 
Corolla inch long or more, entirely yellow, glabrous or pilose outside at the margin. 
Styles much longer than the igner stamens, or shorter than them. This resembles 
O. purpurea, Thunb., but the corolla is constantly bright yellow. 
61. 0. minima (Sond.) ; stemless, guite glabrous; petiole keeled ; leat- 
lets roundish, very smooth above, minutely dotted underneath, the media 
truncate, scarcely retuse, lateral sub-equal, oblique at base ; scape 
ee equalling or surpassing the leaves, bibracteolate at the apex; sepals 
ees ovate, black-margined, glabrous, 6—7 times longer than the corolla; claws 
boas of the petals equal to the limb. ee

An inch high. Petioles 1-3 inch long. Leaflets green above, opaque undernea 
or livid purple, veiny, 13-2 lines long and wide. Calyx scarcely more than 1 line | 
long. Corolla yellow, bell-shaped. Known from 0. punctata by its firmer, rounded, 
minutely dotted leaflets, much shorter scape, and larger, yellow corolla. 
62. 0. glauco-virens ee ; stemless ; the compressed petiole, scape, 
and calyx somewhat hairy, with acute and glandular hairs ; leaflets ev-
