Between Nottingham Castle and the Trent. Fl. Oct. If. — Flowers 

 pale purple. I possess specimens from the station now mentioned, sent 

 by Dr Jowitt, which precisely accord with the plant of F. Bot. 



In all this Genus, the germen is concealed under-ground, elevated by 

 a short peduncle from the root ; which peduncle elongates, after the 

 decay of the flower, and the capsules appear above-ground. 



6. * C. speciosus, M. Bieb. (showy autumnal Crocus) ; stigma 

 ■within tiie flower erect in 3 deeply laciniated segments longer 

 than the stamens, flowers appearing before the leaves. " M.

Meadows near Warwick. Dr Lloyd. Meadow about Warrington. 

 Mr W. Wilson; and about Halifax. {Hook. Herb.) Fl. Oct. %.— 

 I mentioned' the discovery in the 2d. ed. of this Flora, but did not ven- 

 ture to add another to the already too greatly extended list of species of 

 this Genus : all that can be said in favour of its introduction is, that it 

 is as much entitled to a place in our Flora as the preceding species.

1. T. ColumncB, 'RQich. (Cohmmas Trichonema); scape sin- 

 gle-flowered mostly solitary slightly drooping, leaves filiform 

 compressed furrowed flexuose, spathas longer than the tube of 

 the corolla, style shorter than the stamens, stigmas bifid at the 

 apex. — Komulea CobmmrE, Mauri, Fl. Rom. p. 18. — Trichonema.

Grassy pastures in Guernsey and Jersey. The Warren, Dawlish, 

 March, 1834; Mr Trevelyan. Fl. March, Apr. If. — A small bulbous 

 plant, with pale bluish-purple and yeWovf flowers. — Mauri appears to 

 have well distinguished the two European species of this Genus: but it 

 is doubtful which Linnaeus had in view, or whether he had not both, 

 when he described the plant in the Spec. PL; for he refers in one syn. 

 ( Tournefort) to the large-flowered kind, the T. Bulbocodium of our 

 gardens, and of Curt. Bot. Mag. t. 265 ; and also to Columna, which 

 is our small-flowered plant. The difference in the size of the inflorescence 

 both in the native and wild specimens, is indeed very striking.
