We have never had so many problems in fitting the range of plants we have “on our books” into the available space! We always try and keep our lists “democratic” and balanced although at times our prejudices show and one or two groups rise to the top. This year we are offering an unprecedented range of calochortus in a multiplicity of sizes, colours and flower shapes from the charming fairy lanterns of C. albidus through to the spectacular, later-flowering mariposas with upward-facing bowl-shaped flowers in a rich tapestry of shades from canary-yellow through to lilac, lavender and purple. Counterpoised to these flashy dandies we are offering an assortment of choice muscari whose quiet charm, softer colours and Tulipa vvedenskyi Tecophilaea cyanocrocus Violacea persistent flowering make them no less effective in the winter and spring garden. Standouts among this group are the deliciously scented duo, M. muscarimi and M. macrocarpum and the striking and little known tassel-hyacith, M. weissii. While it has its devotees, many gardeners are unaware of the qualities of the large and diverse tribe of “onions”, known as alliums.

This continued explora­ tion plus some reidentifications and the usual changes in nomenclature pub­ lished since the Hora went to press have created enough additions and corrections to the Hora of the island that it seems desirable to bring them together here. Because the available supplies of the separates printed of the Hora are largely, if not entirely, exhausted, it is evident that we seriously underestimated public interest in the natural history of our best known California island. The location, topography, geology, climate, soils, vegetation, history, bo­ tanical collecting, biological spectrum, and relationships of the Hora are described in some detail in my Hora ( 1967) .
