This fine variety of LEUCOJUM vernum, differs from the one before figured (No. 46) not only in its two-flowered
spathe, but also in the colour of the spots at the apex of the
lacinię of the corolla, which in our plant are yellow ; in the
one-flowered variety always green.
Communicated in March last by Messrs. WHITLEY, BRAME,
and MILNE, who received bulbs of this plant, with several
other rarities, from a friend that collected them in the
Carpathian mountains.
