T. primulina (Primrose-like), fl. strongly scented; perianth 
pale primrose-yellow, gre sagan | lin. long; outer segments 
lanceolate, tinged with bright red all over the back ; inner 
oblong ; peduncle glabrous, 2in. to 3in. long. Spring. l. four

soe channelled down the face, the outer ones 3in. to 4in. 
on Stem less than 6in. above the surface, one-flowered. 
Bulb ovoid, lin. thick, with bright red-brown outer tunics. 
Eastern Algeria, 1882, iB. M. 6786.) 
T. pubescens (downy).* ji. faintly scented; perianth widely 
varying in colour. This is probably a hybrid between T. 
Gesneriana and T. suaveolens. It has the large stigma and six 
obtuse segments of the former, and the downy peduncle of the 
latter ; the bright red forms have no piotch at the base of the 
perianth segments. (S. B. F. G. 78; M. 2388, under name 
of T. suaveolens latifolia.) To this bi several of the April- 
flowering garden races, such as BRIDE OF HAARLEM, DUKE OF 
YORK, and POTTEBAKKER.

T. retroflexa (retroflexed).* fl., perianth bright yellow, about 
šin. long, with six uniform, oblong segments, narrowed ‘adually 
to an acute point; stamens yellow. Early in May. ee

plant, probably a hybrid between T. acuminata and T. 
neriana. 
T. saxatilis (rock-loving). f. faintly Primrose-scented; perianth 
oblong-infundibular, 2in. to 24in. long ; segments bright mauve- 
purple in the upper two-thirds, and bright yellow on the claw, 
without any spot, the inner ones obovate-cuspidate, liin. broad, 
—.the outer oblong, less than lin. broad; stamens nearly lin, 
long ; filaments bright yellow, twice the length of the blackish 
anthers; peduncle glabrous. March. Z. three or four, lanceo- 
late or linear, glabrous, the lowest above lft. long, lin. to ljin. 
broad. Stems lft. or more long, often two-head Bulb 
medium-sized, ovoid. 3 F 
T. Schrenki (Schrenk’s). A synonym of 7. Gesneriana. 
T. spathulata (spathulate) A synonym of T. Gesneriana 
spathulata. 
T. stellata (star-like). A near ally of 7. Castand. with similar 
leaves and habit, but the perianth segments are more obtuse, 
and without the distinct purplish-black eye. February. Hima- 
layas, 1827. (B. M. 2672.) There is a bright yellow variety. 
with the flower sometimes self-coloured, sometimes flushed 
with red on the outside. 
T. strangulata (constricted). /l., perianth segments furnished 
at the base with a large, black blotch, both in the typical red- 
` flowered form, and also in some of the yellow varieties. April. 
This is very like T. suaveolens, but much taller. T. Bonarotiana, 
T. neglecta, and T. vario-picta are doubtless mere colour varieties. 
Four of the forms are figured in B. R. 1990, under name of 
T., scabriscapa.
