Shady places under trees and shrubs, often also growing among stones and in clefts of rocks. 

 In Cyprus this beautiful species occurs abundantly within two widely separated areas: along the southern 

 coast from Amathus to Paphos and in the northern, montainous part of the island, where it is especially 

 frequent in the forests of Juniperus phoenicea and Cupressus sempervirens in the Karpassian peninsula. 

 From the level of the sea it ascends to the highest summits of the mountains in the neighbourhood of 

 Kantara. Valia near Hag. Theodores (JH 494), Limassol (Michaelides!). In the botanical garden at 

 Christiania this plant has been cultivated both from seeds and tubers, which I have brought with me home 

 from Cyprus; the plants have flowered willingly, but did not produce so large flowers as they usually do 

 in a free state.

An endemical species, which has not hithert(j been met with outside the island. Frequent in the
