Fritillaria lutea, Miller, and its allies F. latifolia, Willd., and F. aurea, Schott. These 3 names may be-taken as representing the 3 well-marked types of color: F. lutea an intermediate form, essentially yellow, but greenish, and with the purple checker-marks duller in color and not so sharply defined and regular. F. latifolia representing the extreme of dark purple and green without yellow; F. aurea, at the other extreme, being essentially yellow, the checker marks smaller and more sharply defined, and the colors bright. In this sense the pictures may be referred to the types as follows: B.M. 1538 to F. lutea; B.M. 853 and 1207 to F. latifolia; B.M. 7374, R.H. 1878, p. 287, Gn. 42: 72, J.H. III. 28:357, to F. aurea. F. latifolia represents the extreme width of lvs., and F. aurea is said to differ in having the lower lvs. often whorled. All these grow 1 ½ - 1 ft. high. One of the most anciently cult, of all fritillaries is F. lutea, which is found promiscuously mingled with the wider- lvd. form, both wild and cult. At present the most popular of the 3 is probably F. aurea. The Dutch bulb- growers advertise several varieties of F. latifolia. These 3 species are fom S. W. Asia.—F. lutea. St. often 1-fld.: lvs. alternate, linear-lanceolate: fls. yellow, more or less marked or suffused with purple; segms. oblong- lanceolate. F. latifolia (F. lutea var. latifolia) has lanceolate lvs., the upper ones opposite: fls. purple. F. aurea. Lvs. 10-12, lower in 3's, linear, somewhat glaucous and fleshy: fls. solitary, bright yellow.
