4 g THE GENUS CROCUS. 



C. Tournefortii of Gay. 



C. asturicus, Herbert, is I think entitled to specific rank; and it is more nearly 



allied to C. serotinus than to C. nudiflorus. 



In addition to Baker's Review of the Known Species of Crocus, in the 

 Gardener's Chronicle, the species were again enumerated by him in his Classified 

 Synonymic List of all the Known Crocuses which appeared in the fourth volume of 

 the new series of the Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society of London, in 1877. 

 and in 1878, in his Systema Iridacearum, in the sixteenth volume of the Journal of 

 the Linnean Society (Botany, p. 79 to 85) including a classified list of the genus, 

 extending it to fifty-one species. 



Baker also described in the Gardener's Chronicle some varieties of C. 

 chrysanthus, C. etruscus, and C. algeriensis (C nevadensis, Amo and Campo). In the 

 Journal of Botany, No. 165, pp. 365-366, appeared his description of C. parviflorus 

 discovered in the Taurus by Mrs. Danford; and in the Botanical Magazine, 

 descriptions of C. minimus and C. Fleischeri, Tab. 6176, C. Boryi, 6187, C. banaticus 

 (as C. vcluchensis), 6197, C. Wcldeni, 62 11, C. etruscus, 6362, and C. vitellinus, 6416. 



Sir J. D. Hooker wrote the descriptions in the Botanical Magazine of C. 

 Orphamdis (Hooker) = C. Tournefortii, (Gay) Tab. 5776, C. Salzmanni, 6000, C. 

 Olivieri, 6031, C. Sieberi, 6036, C. byzantinus, 6141, C. chrysanthus, 6162, and C. 

 Creivci (Hooker), 6168; and Professor W. T. Dyer the description of C. cancellatus, 



6168.
