GLADIOLUS _communis_ foliis ensiformibus, floribus distantibus.

GLADIOLUS utrinque floridus? _Bauh. Pin. 41._

The French Corn-Flag. _Park. Parad. p. 189. t. 191. f. 1._

[Illustration: No 86]

Grows wild in the corn fields of most of the warmer parts of Europe,
varies with white and flesh-coloured blossoms, increases so fast, both
by offsets and seeds, as to become troublesome to the cultivator; hence,
having been supplanted by the Greater Corn-Flag, the _Byzantinus_ of
MILLER, whose blossoms are larger, and more shewy, it is not so
generally found in gardens as formerly.

It flowers in June.
