It is certainly a native of most of the forests and 

 orchards of Transylvania, whence I have a wild specimen, 

 named C. nudiflorus, collected by Dr. Baumgarten himself; 

 according to Host it was found by the late Dr. Sadler on 

 the outskirts of woods in various parts of Hungary. 



Mr. Strangways saw it cultivated at Naples, under the 

 name of Crocus speciosus.
