438 Account and Description of Spring Circuses, &c. 



Crocus ; but I think him wrong in this, for the one described 

 by Parkinson with that name is a variety of C. vernus. 



In the English Flora of my late valued and respected 

 friend Sir James Edward Smith,* the Crocus Susianus, 

 under Marschall a Biebersteins's name of Crocus reticula- 

 tus is stated to be a native of Great Britain, on the authority 

 of Mr. Daw t son Turner, as having been found wild in the Park 

 of Sir Henry Bunbury, at Barton, in Suffolk. Mr. Hodson 

 of Bury St. Edmonds, obligingly sent me roots and blossoms 

 of two Crocuses which were taken up from the above place. 

 These proved to be C. lagenaeflorus and C. argenteus of this 

 paper ; C. Susianus may perhaps also be found in the same 

 spot, and I have heard that C. luteus likewise grows there. 

 The place where the specimens I received were taken from, is 

 a small spot at no great distance from the Hall, and not above 

 two hundred yards from the present garden. This locality, as 

 well as the diversity of the plants growing on it, may fairly 

 justify the supposition that the whole have been placed there 

 either by design or accident, and that they are not original 

 inhabitants. 



2. Crocus Sulphureus. Pale Yellow Crocus. 



1 . C. Sulphureus striatus, 



2. striatellus. 



3. isabellinus. 



4. concolor. 



5. albidus. 



This species was established by Mr. Bellenden Ker in 

 the Botanical Magazine, (folio 938) in the year ] 806 ; only 

 one variety is mentioned by Parkinson ; Miller recognizes
