SUPPLEMENTAL OBSERVATIONS.

sequently been overlooked by botanists, but it assuredly has 
a wild locality somewhere. 
Hermione elegans. According to Desfontaines its style 
is as long as the tube. It inhabits the neighbourhood of Al- 
giers. — See above, Hermione sequilimba. 
Hermione Italica. Tube green. — v. 2. praecox. Tube f, 
limb cup about f, in a specimen from Pr. Tenore. 
V. 4. brevis. I find a specimen from Pr. Tenore, under 
the name narcissus neglectus, exactly agreeing with this 
variety. It is, therefore, not a garden production. 
V. 5. aurea.spec.Requien Herb. Hooker. N. aureus, spec, 
nov. Tube near f, cup f , limb f ; style a little shorter than 
the cup ; umbel about 10-flowered ; leaves half an inch wide. 
V. 6. chrysantha. N. chrysanthus, Redoute. Spec. 
Herb. Hooker. Tube about |-, limb scarcely, cup about f, 
style equalling the cup. Both golden, and closely allied. 
V. 7. subalbida. N. subalbidus. Lois. Tube near f, 
limb white; cup very pale yellow, f ; style equalling the 
cup. It comes near to v. 3. 
The double Roman narcissi are cultivated varieties of H. 
Italica, with the scape very fistulous. I have two distinct. 
Hermione papyracea. — Tube white, style exceeding it. 
V. 1. unicolor. Tenore. 1. 26. Capri and Vesuvius. 
Tube exceeding §, cup3-16ths, limb 1 l-16ths, sepals 7- 16‘ths 
wide, leaves -§ wide, style shorter than the upper anthers. 
Subvar. culta. Paper-white, germen f-, tube exceeding f , 
limb cup 3-16ths, style shorter than the upper anthers, 
sepals f- wide, leaves glaucous, channelled, keeled, near fths 
of an inch wide. — PI. 48. f. 7 — 10. I had not had a late 
opportunity of examining the flower of this plant before 
the genus went to the press, but having forced it into 
flower, I find it distinguished from Tazetta by the small- 
ness of its cup, which is not larger than that of aequilimba, 
viz. 3-16ths of an inch long and \ wide, crenulate. It is 
distinguishable from the rest of the genus, unless perhaps 
dubia, which I have not seen in a fresh state, by the tube 
being scarcely green. The segments of the limb are more 
lanceolate than usual. They are more than four times the 
length of the cup, and exceed the tube, which is fths of 
an inch long. Folia semunc. glauca, canaliculata, cari-
