L. Alschingeri (Alschinger’s). 1. of a paler yellow than in the 
common species, freely produced, some of the racemes measuring 
lift. in length. Croatia. Very floriferous. It is doubtful

scribed on p. 225, Vol. II., the following should now be 
added :

unspotted, lanceolate, recurved, 6in, to 8in. long. 1887. A hybrid 
between L. tricolor lutea (SYN. L. aurea)and L. reflexa.
