 (Pers., and A. Dec.) : was observed by Linnaeus in rocky situations exposed to the sun from Goth-

Ornilhogalum minimum of Europe and the adjoining portion of Asia. From early times inter- 

 min°led with the preceding: — termed " o. pannonicum luteo flore" by Clusius hist. i. 189, " o. 

 luteum minus " by C. Bauhin pin. 71, and known to occur throughout middle Europe : observed by
