Flowering period, February to April.
Galanthus Plicatus.
Folded Galanthus; Nat. Ord. Amaryllidacaæ.
A species from the Crimea; compared with our native kind, it is larger in the grass, having also other, but very slight, points of difference. The main one is implied by its name, "plicatus," or folded; its leaves are furrowed, which causes it to have a folded appearance.
Culture and flowering period, the same as for the other species.
Galanthus Redoutei.
Redoute's Galanthus; Nat. Ord. Amaryllidaceæ.
This is by far the most distinct form, having broad grass-green foliage. It is somewhat late in flowering (during March and April), and not so free as others.
