about |-th shorter than the cup. Mr. Haworth had 
a variety one-third smaller. 
Var. 2. Galanthifolia. — Tros. Haw . said to differ in 
having the limb more expanded and tortuous, and 
the cup more plaited ; the style sometimes exceed- 
ing it. There is some apparent difference in the 
bulbs, but I have not seen the flower of the latter, 
which seems to be of more difficult culture. 
3. Fce'tida. — Leaves rather glaucous ; tube § to one 
inch long, shorter than the limb, stout, wider up- 
wards and strongly six-ribbed ; limb patent, subtor- 
tuous, 1^ to 1^ long; cup plaited, six-lobed, about 
half an inch long, | to 1 inch wide. (Flower stinking 
in all that I have seen, and petals more tortuous 
than the sepals). 
Var. 1. Incomparabilis. — Bot. Mag. 4. 121. Cup a little 
darker yellow than the limb. 
Var. 2. Aurantia. — PI. 39. f. 5. before expansion. N. 
Gouani. Red. Lil. 158. Cup edged with a deeper 
colour, tending more or less to orange. Of this I 
have two variations, and Redoute’s plant differs a 
little; a specimen from Mr. Sabine was not exactly 
similar to any of the three. The double variety 
is called Butter and eggs. 
Var. 3. Semipartita. — PI. 39. f. 6. A marked variety, 
with a paler tint of yellow, the cup more patent, 
regularly and deeply lobed. 
Var. 4. Concolor. Haw. — Homochroos. Schultes. N.omn. 
max. fl. et cal. flavo. Park. Par. 68. 2. This 
plant is only known by the account of Parkinson, 
who says it differs from incomparabilis in nothing 
but having the cup of the same colour as the limb, 
and he adds that it is sometimes 2-flowered. It 
has not been forthcoming in our days ; the double 
variety called sulphur-crown may possibly have 
sprung from it ; but I understand that a little ap- 
pearance of darker colour in the middle is observ- 
able in the doubling of that flower. 
Var. 5. Grisea. — PI. 39. f. 7. N. max. griseus cal. flav. 
Park. Par. 69. 3. Q. alba. Haw. Q. nivea? Haw. 
Parkinson says, “ glistening whitish grey, cup yel-
