p. 117. The subglobose 

 and nodding flowers place 

 it in the first division of 



1, Eucalycliortus. Our plant is the white species. The 

 yellow species has larger flowers. The stiffly erect, open 

 flowers of 2 of this genus have a markedly different ap- 

 pearance from the species here figured; yet their struc- 

 ture is similar. The spots upon the petals cause them to 



resemble the wings of butterflies; hence the common name Butterfly Tulip, and the sec- 

 tion name ^Jan^osa.
