Typus, exMarschallaBieberstein floribusochro- 

 leucis V. leucophaeis i. e. cinerasccntibus instructus, 

 in nostris regionibus rarissime occurrit, sed ejus loco: 



^. oculata: flore toto caerulescente v. caeruleo prae- 

 ter cristam sepalorum flavidam, lamina sepalorum in 

 medio macula v. fascia niargini parallela azurea nota- 

 ta, petalis interdum paulo tantum quara sepala brevi- 

 oribus. 



Turkestania: Chiwa, ad Tirair kabuk in arenoso- 

 limosis(Korolkow etlvrause) — folia margine glabra, 

 flores praeter raaculam circa cristam toti caerulei; Sa- 

 markand et vallo fl. Sarafsclian fouce Ssangy-dshumau, 

 uec non ad Dargam (0. Fedtschenko) — folia mar- 

 gine scaberula, flos oculatus; Karatau prope Turtsclii 

 (A. Regel) et Tscliemkent (Krause); monte Tscliii- 

 panata ( . F e d t s cli c n k o ) — quum ocnhda, tum fy^ika ; 

 Mogoltau (Sewerzow, commixta cuin Mercndcra ro- 

 busta Bge) — foliis scabris; montes Boroldai (Korol- 

 kow) — folia margine scabra; Wernoje ad Saizewka 

 (Kuscliaki'wicz) — folia margine scabra, flores azurei. 



Spucc. varia, majora et minora, foliis mai'gine saepe 

 glabris, sepalorum ungue mox linguaeformi quam la- 

 mina angustiore, mox medio v. versus basin dilatato 

 quam lamina latiore, petalis mox anguste obovatis pa- 

 tentireflexis vel penduiis parum quam sepala breviori-

 internodiis inter folia distinctis, foliis margine conco- 

 loribus tenuibus scabris, spatliis versus apicem axilla- 

 ribus usque 5, petalis minutis.

Adnot. de Xiphîo. — Bulbus Euxiplni, v. c. J. reti- 

 culatae, componitur e tunica brnnnea membranacea 

 (quae squama vetusta emaciata) et e squamis tantum 

 2 carnosis crassissimis, quarum extima maxinia inte- 

 riorem minutam ex toto amplectitur, utraque insidens 

 axi parvae patelliformi. Caulis florifer terminalis axin

 quarum axillis gignuntur secus ])asin caulis bulbi in- 

 novantes 1 V. 2. Quivis c bulbis novellis constat e squama 

 aphylla vaginaiite basi carnosa, folio amplexo 1 et 

 squama crasse carnosa a folii basi circumdata caulis 

 anno sequente florituri. — Bulbi specierum Jiinonis 

 vero e squamis tenuius carnosis numerosioribus (S in ./. 

 caucasica, 3 in J. XipJiio L.) componuntur, quae in J. 

 caucasica apliyllae, integrae, in J. Xipltto apice fîbro- 

 sae, interiores olim foliiferae, extimae olim vaginigerae 

 erant. Caulis florifer, etiam in utraque centralis, latere

 mis propriis pluribus constantes, post emaciationem 

 bulbi matris liberatas. 



Ita in omnibus Xiphiis axis primaria floret.
