rillensis, and grows on the heights near the coast of Peru, a 

 little to the N. of Lima, at Chorillos, intermixed with a Pit- 

 cairnia and a white Anthericum. A. lineatiflora of Ruiz is a 

 vigorous Chilian (not a Peruvian) plant, with acute oval 

 leaves an inch and three quarters wide. There can be no 

 doubt of the difference between the Chorillensis and the Ligtu 

 of Bot. Reg. 1839, 13 ; but the form and texture of the leaves 

 separate Chorillensis more widely from Ruiz's lineatiflora, 

 which is not stated to have glossy leaves, I consider the Ligtu 

 of the Bot. Mag. not to be the true plant of feuille, which I 

 still hope to obtain from Conception, whence we have had few 

 plants; and I have long named it A. Lindleyana, allied to A. 

 pulchra, not, as printed by mistake, 1843, misc. 94', to pul- 

 chella.— W. H. 



7. CROCUS vermis. 



It is stated by Dr. B. Biasoletto of Trieste (Melaziofie, 

 Sj'C. 1841) that Crocus vernus, which appears always to affect 

 very elevated flat places, is found in profusion in Dalmatia, 

 on a flat between the highest point of the Triglaw, and of 

 Sweti Jure (St. George) which is 5521 feet high, flowering 

 amidst withered grass in June. He also cites C. biflorus 

 Mill. C. Pallasianus, and C. minimus of Rchb. ic. pi. cit. as 

 found in either Istria or Dalmatia ; but the accurate recog- 

 nition of the species may perhaps be doubted. W. H. 



8. CROCUS Cartwrightianus. 



Supra 3. 



Our colourer has inadvertently left out the purple star 

 and prolonged purple lines on the inside of this flower, and 

 the dark purple lines at the base of the limb of C. Pallasianus*
