These are two Fritillaries of which living plants have 
lately been brought for the first time from Asia Minor by 
Mr. Elwes, and liberally distributed. F. dasyphylla is a 
dwarf species, first gathered by Professor Edward Forbes, 
which belongs to the section with an entire style, and re- 
sembles in general habit F. tulipifolia of the Caucasus, 
figured Bot. Mag. tab. 5969. F. acmopetala , on the contrary, 
is a tall-growing plant, closely allied to F. pyrenaica , but 
with very different leaves. Both are plants of the mountains
