The two plants represented in this plate are amongst the<br />
least showy species of the genus. T. biflora has been long<br />
known, but is very seldom seen in cultivation. It is spread<br />
from the Volga through the western half of Siberia. It is<br />
notable in the genus for producing normally more than a<br />
single flower. It has a woolly bulb, like montana, but<br />
otherwise its affinity is with sylvestris and australis. The<br />
drawing was made from a plant sent up by Mr. Ge<strong>org</strong>e<br />
Maw from his garden at Broseley.<br />
T. iliensis is one of the numerous new species that have<br />
lately been discovered by the Russian explorers in Central<br />
Asia. Its alliance is close with T. triphylla, Bot. Mag.<br />
