sessile, large, and spreading, 3-lobed, lobes very large and
spreading, densely covered with thick hairs on all sides, beau,
tifully crested, and reflexed, the margins also reflexed.
Our figure was taken from the rich collection in Chelsea
Physic Garden. We detected it amongst a number of other
Tulips, the roots of which were sent to the Honourable Company
of Apothecaries, of London, from abroad, as Colchicums;
which, on Mr. Anderson’s planting them in their Garden at
Chelsea, produced the flowers of several species of Tulipa. It
is ornamental, and of easy culture, by pai-ting the bulbs,
when quiescent, in the usual way.
