This  species  is  reduced  by  Bakee  (Handb.  Irid.,  44)  into  a 
synonym  of  his  Xiphion  Danfordiae  (Journ.  of  Bot.  XVI,  265)  = 
I.  Danfordiae  Boiss.  Pl.  orient.  V,  124.  I have  not  had  any  op- 
portuiiity  to  see  authentical  speeimens  of  I.  Danfordiae,  biit  if 
Baker’s  description  is  correct,  the  both  plants  cannot  possibly  be 
identical.  My  plant  has  the  external  tunics  of  the  bulb  composed 
of  reticulate  flbres  exactly  as  the  type-speeimens  of  1.  Bornmuelleri, 
Avhile  1.  Danfordiae,  according  to  the  description  of  its  author,  has 
brown  membranaceous  tunics. 
On  the  Armenian  high  level,  flowering  in  April.
