species. 
In the volume of this work for 1837, fol. 2000, another 
fine species is figured; and in the same place will be found 
a short account of the other Lilies natives of the same country. 
Since that time I have received Siebold’s beautiful Flora 
Japonica, in which L. speciosum and a variety are figured, 
with the following remarks, which the rarity of that work in 
England will justify my producing at second hand. 
« Among more than 20 kinds of Lily brought by me 
from Japan to Europe, and deposited in the Botanic Garden 
at Ghent, are the varieties of L. speciosum now represented. 
To that with flowers rose-coloured, blotched with purple, I
