Hab. Mense februario florentem in rupestribus herbidis prope 

 oppidulum El Pedroso inveni , ad latus meridionale montis 

 Mariani, ubi Anam fluvium et Emeritam Augustam a planitie

Obs. These two species, confounded by Linnjeus, probably from 

 bis not having seen wild specimens, were well defined, and rightly 

 distinguished by Clusius. His figures somewhat uncouth give never- 

 theless a good general idea of the differences between them. But the 

 relative length of the leaves and the scape is overlooked, though it. 

 appears to me that this character is sufficiently constant and remar- 

 kable in the native specimens. The jonquil had not been met with in 

 its wild state since the time of the Flemish botanist, from whose 

 bulbs imported iuto the gardens of the low countries all those culti- 

 vated in Europe have since sprung. It appears to be entirely a 

 Spanish plant confined to the grassy slopes on either side of the long 

 line of the Sierra Morena , it is possible however that it may be found 

 hereafter on the chain of Atlas. The N. juncifolius grows in the 

 hotter and drier region around the Mediterranean gulph , though 

 likewise still unnoted on its African shores. It was first registered in 

 the Flora of Provence by Magnol under the original name of Clusius 

 adopted by G. Bauhin , but since the time of Linnaeus had been con- 

 sidered as the wild type of the garden jonquil , till their difference 

 attracted the attention of two botanits who both as if of common 

 accord gave it the same name, but the name as given by la Gasca is 

 anterior by eleven years to that of Requien.
