CROCUS. The information here given is based upon 
Mr. George Maw’s magnificent “ Monograph of the Genus 
Crocus,” published in 1886. By the assistance of the 
following ‘“‘key”’ to the grouping of the Crocuses in culti- 
vation, the name of any species may be the more readily 
determined. The number of species described by Mr. 
Maw is sixty-seven: of these about seventeen are lost to 
cultivation, or await introduction to this country. C. 
aérius, C. ancyrensis, C. Fleischeri, C. nevadensis, and 
C. ochroleucus require a cold frame to bring them to 
perfection.
