The plants figured were cultivated by Mr. G. P. Baker in his garden at Hillside, Sevenoaks, and were shown at the Royal Horticultural Society's meeting on 4 April, 1934. Mr. Baker cultivates it successfully both in the open and in a frame and finds that the bulbs grow and multiply very well and that the stock increases freely from seed. The original material at Hillside was collected by Mr. Baker himself on the road from Marrakesh to Telouet, about 25 km. from the latter place, at about 2100-2400 metres altitude, in April, 1929, and again, a week later, from one of the shelters of the Morocco Alpine Club in the neighbourhood of Arround, on the lower slopes of the mountains amidst rock and vegetation. In general, it appears that the species occurs not uncommonly on the High Atlas to the south-east of Marrakesh.
