358. Limb sulphur-coloured, cup orange, tube 
above -|ths long. 
3. Papyracea. — Bot. Mag. 24. 947. N. unicolor. Tenore. 
FI. N. 1. 26. Perianth pure white, cup short, 
stigma between the upper filaments. Bulb blacker ; 
flowers 8-15. (Cup five times shorter than the 
limb?) Grows near Mount Vesuvius. Only dis- 
tinguishable from Tazetta by the white cup, darker- 
coated bulb, and peculiar scent. 
4. Dubia. — Red. Lil. 8. 428. Leaves narrow; perianth 
all white ; style shorter than all the stamens ; bulb 
small. Flowers 2-3 when wild, 6 when culti- 
vated. 
Var. 1. PI. 43. f. 6. Two-flowered, 7 inches high; leaf 
little more than 1 - 16th wide. Avignon. Herb. 
Bentham. 
Var. 2. PI. 43. f. 7. Three-flowered, tube slenderer ; 
leaf similar to var. 1. Restinctieres, near Mont- 
pelier. Herb. Bentham. Flowers in March. 
Var. 3. PI. 43. f. 8. Tube shorter and thicker, leaf 
3-16ths wide, 8 inches long. Near Montpelier, 
Herb. Bentham. 
5. Corcyrensis. — PI. 37. f. 2. Leaves half an inch 
wide, glaucous ; scape 1 -flowered (Qu. whether 
evermore?) 6-7 inches; spathe 1-valved, looped; 
limb fths of an inch long ; cup yellow, scarce 4th, 
trifid ; limb near fths, reflex, segments narrow, 
acute, pale sulphur-colour ; peduncle above an 
inch ; style shorter than the stamens. I have had 
this remarkable plant, which was found growing- 
wild in Corfu, near thirty years. It is hardy, the 
points of the leaves being, however, injured by the 
winter, and it flowers at the beginning of April, or 
sooner in forward seasons. I have never known it 
produce more than one flower on a scape, though I 
cannot say that in a more congenial situation it 
might not do so ; but on the other hand I have 
never seen any vernal Hermione produce a solitary 
flower. Its small stature, one-flowered habit or at 
least propensity, slender reflex limb, and deeply 
trifid cup, seem to distinguish it as a species from
