flos. Limb about fth of an inch shorter than the 
cup ; sepals fths wide; petals scarcely 1 - 16th nar- 
rower; cup 1J long, lobed irregularly, plaited, 
crenate ; style scarcely half an inch shorter ; leaves 
9-16ths wide. 
Var. 2. Breviflos. — Haw. Limb a little tortuous, just 
shorter than the cup; sepals fths wide, petals fths; 
cup If long, almost regularly lobed ; style half an 
inch shorter; leaves 5-16ths wide. Delicately 
fragrant. 
Var. 3. Anceps.- — Haw. Scape more flattened ; scent 
powerful, but less agreeable, like the sour-creamy 
smell of gladiolus hirsutus ; sepals an inch wide, 
petals fths ; cup near 1^ long ; tube fths. 
4. Tubaeflorus. — Filamenta tubi ipsi basi adnata inaequa- 
litate fere obsoleta, stylo ultra semunciam corona 
breviore ; tubo vix semunciali ; limbo pallido laci- 
niis latis. 
Var. 1. Princeps. — Tubaeflorus. Salisbury. PI. 38. f. 34. 
This and the following variety differ from all the 
varieties of bicolor in having the filaments parting 
from the tube still nearer to its base, as may be seen 
by the outlines I have given, but they are very closely 
akin to bicolor, and Linnaeus seems by his speci- 
men not to have distinguished them. Tube fths; 
limb broad, patent, very pale sulphur, If long; 
cup equal, yellow, margin reflex, irregularly lobed 
and serrate. 
Var. 2. Crenulatus. — Sabine MS. PI. 38. f. 35. Dis- 
tinguishable from tubaeflorus chiefly by the cup 
being less cleft and recurved at the margin, which 
gives it the appearance of being longer ; but I have 
seen so much variation in the crown of tubaeflorus 
in bulbs that were offsets from the same stock, that 
I doubt its being a variety permanent by seed. 
5. Moschatus. — Style shorter than the cup and 
longer than the stamens ; tube inch long, flow- 
ers whitish. Linn. ed. 2. says, “cup cylindrical; 
margin obsolete, repand, not toothed or crisp;” but 
it is quite needless to inquire which of the white-
