339.852 : CROCUS ALATAVICUS * Uzbekistan, Tashkent, Chimgan. 1200m. Open, stony areas below snow-patches. (The most eastern member of the genus. Pure-white flowers with yellow throats, often speckled purple-black outside, in spring. Not usually too easy to grow & increase. We find the Tien Shan populations resent high temperatures both in spring & when dormant but our own coll. from Chimgan is more accommodating. Most of this seed is from Janis Ruksans.)

588.406 : IRIS HISTRIO (subsp. histrio) (Subgen. Hermodactyloides) *
Turkey, Hatay, W of Kişlak. Ex a N. Stevens coll.
(Anexquisite, early-flowering species native from the Lebanon up through Syria into S Turkey, usually in oak scrub & well separated geographically from I.h. subsp. aintabensis. Pale to mid-blue flowers, ridged with yellowandmottled with dark blue on the falls. Well suited to cultivation in the alpine-house or bulb-frame, where it appreciates a warm summer rest.)

702.305 : Narcissus minor
Pictures : 10 Feb. 2017

JJA 702.305 : Narcissus minor
Spain, Leon, La Pola de Gordón. 1300m.
(A wild collection from NW Spain of this obscure dwarf, yellow trumpet-daffodil. While it is of debatable botanical delineation, it is always, in the opinion of John Blanchard, “a highly desirable garden plant” which does well outside in the UK. Usually a little more robust and later-flowering than N. asturiensis, though the early-flowering clone ‘Cedric Morris’ is thought to be a variant of this species.)

Sowing: Feb. 2008

Hyacinthella acutiloba JJA 570.950

[Maggi Young]

From Tim Ingram :
A rather unique Hellebore with strong veining on the outer side of the tepals. This was an unusual seedling amongst many grown from seed ex. Jim Archibald - not sure from where it gets this characteristic but it is a strong plant that has been in the garden for many years. Because we are beginning to think of working on the hellebores again as more room is available to grow on young plants, this is one to look at as a parent.

Almost 2 months later than the last season.

877.750 : SCILLA SIBERICA subsp. TAURICA * Turkey, Adana, N of Saimbeyli. 1300m. Ex R.& R. Wallis 93-33. (A beautiful, little, blue-flowered plant which seems to fit into this recently described taxon : listed earlier by us under ref. 874.030.)

874.009 : SCILLA INGRIDIAE (S. ingridiae var. taurica, S. siberica subsp. taurica) * Turkey, SE of Kahramanmaraş. Ex a N. Stevens coll. (This collection has been attributed to S. leepii and we have listed as the R. & R. Wallis 93-33 collection from an adjacent area as S. siberica subsp. taurca. We believe it is now correctly identified. A seldom-collected, little species, endemic to the upper drainage of the Tigris, with up to 6, usually single-flowered, slender, 5cm. scapes rising from each bulb to carry flowers with lilac-blue segments with darker midribs. A lovely, early & long flowering pan-plant.)
