„ fi THE GENUS CROCUS. 



Crocus Malyi was discovered by Herr Maly on Monte Vermaz and Monte Orjen 

 ("In Montibus Vellebit," Visiani), above the Bocco de Cattaro Dalmatia, latitude 

 4 2° 20 ' north, longitude i8° 30' east, at an altitude, on Monte Orjen, of 7000 

 Austrian feet (7260 English feet). It was first described by Professor Visiani in 

 the supplement to the Flora Dalmatica. It has the general aspect of C. vermis; 

 but the bright golden throat, and corm tunic of parallel fibres, readily distinguish 

 it from that species. It flowers in March under cultivation.
