This section is composed of flowers which fall into three types, 

 according to their bases. There is one exception. 



(1) Base circular, blue. (Fig. 18.) 



(2) Base circular, blue except that each blotch has a broad streak 

 on the margin of each segment, sometimes faintly tinged with yellow. 

 (Fig. 14.) 



(3) Base white, with a large dark blue to blue-black blotch on each 

 segment (Fig. 16), outside white. 



Filaments black, sometimes blue-black. 



This and the following section include the ' black ' Tulips, and, 

 although the grouping is at first sight arbitrary, it has been found that 

 any variety from section j will clash with one from section k, but all 

 plants within each section will harmonize with one another. The 

 flowers of these two sections are generally early.
