Broussa from Mr. G. Maw, from the Taurus, collected by Mrs. 
Danford, and from Erzeroum. It is a very pretty dwarf species 
not exceeding 6 to 9 inches high, and usually shorter, and may 
generally he recognized by its four leaves, which extend at right 
angles from the stem in the form of a cross. The lower leaf is 
broad, the others becoming much narrower, and all are deeply 
channelled and waved at the edges. The colour is bright cherry 
red, rather duller on the outside, with a black eye margined 
with yellow. The inner perianth segments are obtuse, nearly 
half an inch shorter than the outer ones, which are pointed. 
A plant of this species from the Taurus, which I sent to M. 
Boissier, was, he thought, the same as his T. undulatifolia. 
If this is correct, the plant I have treated of as undulatifolia , 
which is distinct, must have another name. Grisebach’s plant, 
which I have seen in the Kew Herbarium, appears to me very 
doubtful, and unless better specimens exist, it is not possible to 
identify it certainly. The Tulip under notice seems to me 
extremely near, if not identical with 
T. Alberti , Begel, “Garten Flora,” t. 912, from Turkestan. 
A bulb of this species, for which I am indebted to Dr. Kegel’s 
kindness, flowered with me this year, and except that the 
segments were longer, more pointed, and subequal (in which 
I notice it does not agree with the figure in “ Garten 
Flora,” which has the inner segments much blunted and 
more notched than in my plant), it corresponded precisely 
with T. bithynica. I observed, however, that the anthers 
are yellow, on very short black filaments, while in T. bithynica 
the anthers were blackish or olive green. 
T. undulatifolia, Boiss., Diag. v., 57; “Bot. Mag,,” 6308. 
This handsome species was not known in a living state till I 
found it on the Bozdagh Mountains, 50 miles east of Smyrna, 
at an elevation of 3,000 to 4,000 feet, and brought it to England 
in May, 1874. It is characterized by the closely undulated edges 
of the leaves, which however, is much more conspicuous in a wild 
state than in cultivation ; and by the pointed perianth segments, 
which are bright crimson, with a black eye and yellow border 
inside, and dull greenish crimson on the outside. 
A plant found by Mr. G. Maw near Smyrna comes near to 
my plant, but has a yellow eye showing also on the outside of 
the flower, and flatter leaves. The plant seems nearly related
