We have much pleasure in naming this Lily after J. G. Baker, 
F.R.S., whose labours on the petaloid monocots have so greatly 
facilitated the work of those who have followed him. It is inter- 
mediate in character between L. davuricum, Gawl., and L. japo- 
nicum, Thunb., and is remarkable for the short genitalia.
