twice the length of the cup, of which the margin 
is undulated and indistinctly lobed. 
Var. 1. From Restinctieres near Montpelier, in dry 
stony places. Scape about 7 inches high ; leaf 
scarce 1 - 16th wide. The Castilian rupicola of 
Schultes is probably this plant. 
Var. 2. Scape only four inches. Pont du Gord. 
Var. 3. Tallest; leaves about 13 inches long and wider. 
Capouladoux near Montpelier.

ex Hispania inter Ayamonte et Huelba. Foliis 
filiforinibus subbiuncialibus scapo gracillimo 2^ 
unciali bifloro, spatha unciali pedunculis longiore,

This most singular diminutive species was found by Mas- 
son between A 3 ^amonte and Huelba in Spain, and I cannot 
find that it has been noticed by any other person, unless the 
obscure plant which has been named jonquillioides, from a 
mutilated one-flowered specimen in the herbarium of Willde- 
now, from Portugal, be referable to this, but there is nothing 
in the imperfect description of it, but the filiform leaf to iden- 
tify them. My outline gives the exact dimensions of the plant. 
8. Jonquilla. — PI. 39. f. 15. before expansion. Bot. 
Mag. 1. 15. Leaves narrow and rounded, chan- 
nelled on the surface. Tube 1|-, slender, limb 
about |ths of an inch long, cup |-th or more. 
Flower all yellow, very fragrant. 
This plant differs from the foregoing species of Queltia in 
having shorter anthers, nor am 1 satisfied that their struc- 
ture is precisely similar. Its seed differs a little from any 
seed of Narcissese that I have seen. Not having been able 
to obtain the ripe fruit of the Queltias, I cannot come at pre- 
sent to a decisive opinion whether the jonquill is a species of 
Queltia or a genus by itself. Its capsule is erect and not 
sloped as those of Queltia appear to be, yet it does by no 
means agree with Hermione, to which Sweet referred it. 
It flowers later than any Queltia, and has much affinity 
to the autumnal species of Narcisseae, which I have no op- 
portunity of examining in a fresh state. In all of them the
