This brilliant scarlet species (G. sautidcrsi) has an amber while throat finely dotted. The 

 openness of its throat is marked, and it has been particularly prized by hyliridizers for 

 that reason. It has been used in the creation of many modern garden varieties of gladiolus, 

 to produce well open blooms and clear white throats. Adapted l)y Hottes from the Bot- 

 anical Magazine. (Fig. 6.)
