 Hort. Fls. rich brilliant scarlet, at the base clear yel-

 species, blooming exceptionally early. Sometimes called

 opened fls. to those of nymphea. 



34. Hoogiana, Fedtsch. Outer bulb-scales covered on 

 inside with reddish hairs: St., including bloom, 6-18 in. 

 high, smooth: Ivs. 



4-6, lanceolate-taper- 

 ing, smooth, with a 

 narrow membranous 

 white short - ciliate 

 margin, the lowest 

 8-10 in. long and 

 1^-3 in. broad: fl. 

 scarlet, with a large 

 black blotch bordered 

 with orange on each 

 segm. within the cup 

 and a corresponding 

 yellow mark on the 

 outside ;segms. broad, 

 somewhat abruptly 

 acuminate at apex; 

 filaments linear- lan- 

 ceolate, blackish vio- 

 let; anthers blackish. 

 Cent. Asiatic desert 

 (Bokhara), "a bril-

 species." G.C. III.

 12 in. or more: st. 

 usually branched low 

 down and bearing 2 

 fls.: Ivs. usually 3. 

 sometimes lowest 12 

 in. long, lanceolate 

 or linear and gla- 

 brous: perianth ob-

 slightly sweet-scented, 2 in. long, dark scarlet with 

 black basal blotch margined all around with yellow; 

 inner segms. rounded, outer acute; anthers purple; 

 filaments flattened, black, not bearded. This name

 long, less than K m - wide, with edges rolled in; sta- 

 mens yellow; filaments flattened, glabrous; ovary pris-

 Turkey(?) "This, the well-known Turkish tulip, is a 

 most distinct type, of which the native country is not 

 clearly known. It has the bulb, leaf, and glabrous 

 peduncle of T. Gesneriana, and the flower is similarly 

 variable in color." Baker. 



40. retroflexa, Hort. Lvs. long-lanceolate, some- 

 times linear-lanceolate, slightly ciliate on edge, other- 

 wise glabrous: peduncle somewhat shining: bud nod- 

 ding; perianth open fuimelform-campanulate, yellow, 

 a shade darker at base a trace of a very obscure basal 

 blotch; segms. uniform in width, linear-lanceolate, 

 acuminate, twisted, undulated edges; stamens yellow; 

 filaments flattened, glabrous. A supposed garden 

 hybrid between T. Gesneriana and T. acuminata.

 brous: st. 12-18 in. high, white pruinose, lower third 

 covered with lacerate scarious sheaths, 1-fld.: Ivs. 

 bluish green, ovate-lanceolate, gradually attenuate
