Perennial. — Flowers in March and April.v 
Root a roundish tunicated bulb, of a dark brown or blackish colour 
on the outside. Leaves several, upright, strap-shaped, rather 
glaucous, bluntly keeled, and rather flat at the edge*. Stalk 
( scape J 2-edged, from 8 or 10 inches to about a foot high. 
Bractea ( spatlia of Linnteus) close to the base of the Germen, undi- 
vided. Flower solitary, large, a little drooping, of an unpleasant 
scent. Mr. Salisbury says he has sometimes met with a few 
flowers of this species, with a totally different and pleasant smell, 
like that of a Polyanthus. Segments of the corolla, egg-spear- 
shaped, pale yellow, longer than the funnel-shaped tube. Nectary 
of a full yellow or gold colour, about as long as the segments of the 
corolla, the margin scolloped or notched, scarcely at all lobed, dif- 
fering in this respect from the plant figured in English Botany, 
t. 17, in which the nectary is very distinctly 6-lobed, and the lobes 
finely serrated or toothed. Stamens inserted in the tube of the 
corolla, shorter than the nectary, in which they are concealed. 
Anthers oblong, approaching. Germen globose, with 3 furrows. 
A variety of tins, with double or full flowers, is sometimes met with, especially 
about old orchards, having probably escaped from gardens, where this, and 2 
or 3 other varieties of the same species, are frequently cultivated. 
of so many of our native Plants, in this elegant woik, as to render it, as far as 
the Plates are considered, neatly as useful and interesting to the Botanist, asit 
is to the Entomologist.
