Obs. Under the name of Hyacinthus botryoides, 

 and its varieties, have been confounded two distinct 

 species, which I separate and endeavour to establish as 

 follows : 

 botryoides. Muscaki (The grape -flowered): corollis race- 

 mosis confertis globosis uniformibus, pedicellis flori- 

 geris subnuUis, longioribus, foliis loratis inflexo-cana- 

 liculatis erectis, bulbillis radicalibus numerosis.

Obs. The last very remarkable variety, and the 

 blush-coloured one, I have never seen ; but they cannot 

 depend better than on the fidelity of Linnaeus and Park- 

 inson. 

 peduncularis. M. (The sub-blotched sky-blue) : corollis laxius 

 racemosis paucioribus, globosis uniformibus imis pe- 

 dicellis brevioribus, foliis patulis lineari-loratis inflexo- 

 canaliculatis, bulbiUis radicalibus numerosissimis.
