Charles Greville, and will thrive better in the open 

 ground than in a pot ; for it produced six flowers upon a

Fritillaria Obliqua. Ker in Bot. Mag.n. 857- cum Ic. 



A most rare species, wh ; ch grows wild in the northern 

 mountains of Caucasus, and on the banks of the Volga. I 

 have not seen it any where, except in Mr. Williams s nur- 

 sery at Turnham Green, who introduced it from Holland in

 praecox. Clus. Cur. Post. p. 9- 



Introduced in 1810 by our worthy member Mr. George

 is hardy, thriving with the same treatment as the Yucca Glo- 

 riosa, from which it may be distinguished, when not in flower, 

 by its more recurved green leaves.
