Seven species or varieties are said to be found in Corfu, 

 which I have not yet seen ; three belonging, I apprehend, to 

 C. lagenseflorus ; one to biflorus ; one to reticulatus, blue ; 

 one said to be vermis, which is scarcely probable ; and two 

 imperfectly known, with an autumnal purplish flower. 



Four plants of C. pulchellus were found in Belgrade forest 

 with the limb white and throat yellow. It is curious, that, as 

 the climate of the Alps can delay the spring Crocus even to 

 August, the beginning of autumn on M. Taurus can bring 

 forward the autumnal in the same month.
