PLATE XXV. 
delphinensis has not yet been discovered on the mountains near 
Mentone, and comes from a mountain not far from Giandola in 
the Sospello valley, at about four thousand feet elevation. The only 
Frittilary known as yet at Mentone is F. involucrata, which, besides 
having a whorl of three leaves above, and opposite leaves below, 
is distinguished at a glance by its very graceful pliant stem and small 
dark flowers. Frittilaria delphinensis was in full blow on April 23rd, 
when I received the specimens figured, from the above-mentioned 
locality.
