other Italian Tulip does. A double variety is said to be in 

 the Florentine gardens. 



" It is found near Florence in the fields and vineyards 

 under S. Miniato ; and at a greater distance and in quantity 

 at S. Margherita. It is the latest flowering Tulip of its 

 class. 



" The leaves are glaucous, more or less waved, sometimes 

 much so. Its bad scent is not always present." 



Mr. Strangways adds, that " the Aleppo Tulip is distinct 

 from that of the Euphrates ; and proves to be precisely the 

 Italian Oculus solis v. Raddiana, which seems the most gene- 

 rally dispersed type of O. solis."
