As regards “ repanclum” however, it would seem, that the 
weight of Continental evidence is to the effect that the irregularity 
of the growth of the root and leaves from the corni noticed by me 
on p. 79, together with an irregularity in the form of the segments 
of the corolla, are the distinctive features of this species, which I 
am assured are constant. It this he so it would certainly justify 
ispecific distinction between 'oernum and repandum.~\

Figured in Sweet, p. 176. A summer-flowering species, bloom¬ 
ing from June to September, or even later. In cultivation this 
plant is by no means a free bloomer, but it is valuable as one of the 
most delightfully see nted of all the Cyclamens. It is very distinct, 
both in form and habit, and there should be no great difficulty in 
recognising it. 
The flowers vary in colour from a pale pink to a deep carmine, 
the mouth of the corona is wide and slightly angular. 
Leaves orbicular or reniform, somewhat denticulate, marbled on 
the upper surface. 
The tubers are irregular in shape, and grow frequently to a 
great size; rough, dark in colour, compressed; roots proceed mostly 
from the under surface, but more or less from all parts of the 
tuber. 
In habit it differs from other Cyclamens in forming short gouty 
stems, which produce leaves and flowers, these stems if cut and planted 
will again strike root and produce plants. The growing shoots for 
leaves and flowers have a way of stoling horizontally under ground 
for some distance before seeking the surface and developing, a 
habit likewise of hederafolium , so that in pots when the spring growth 
is commencing the plant assumes the appearance of a nest of 
shoots.

This is the autumn flowering species, that to which I have 
before alluded as found growing wild in some woods in Kent; but 
its native home is on the mountains of Switzerland, as well as in 
Italy, Greece, the Ionian Isles, Algeria, and elsewhere. Under 
this species should be classed a few others which have been de¬ 
scribed under different specific names, they are, however, only geo¬ 
graphical forms of the same species. C. Africanum or macrophyl -
