teenth century seized nearly the whole of the Low Coun- 
tries, and which increased into a state of delusive stock- 
jobbing of so general and destructive a nature as to require 
the interference of government to be put down. 
Offsets produced laterally from the bulb. Leaves three, 
ovately lanceolate, somewhat convolute. Stem smooth. 
Corolla upright, broadly campanulate; segments obtuse. 
Filaments even, smooth, twice shorter than the prismati- 
cally columnar germen ; equal to the anthers. Stigma con- 
tinuous, trifarious, revolute, crested, channelled, not vil- 
lously fringed as the nearly allied species from France, 
which we have given in the third volume of this work (fol, 
204), under the title of the Agen Tulip. (funrpa oculus 
solis.)
