A much smaller plant than L. Thomsonianum, with the bulb 14 in. long, 
stem 1-2 ft., and the flowers varying from rose pink to pale lilac; but Wallich w A 
probably right in thinking them varieties of one. Notholirion was taken up, ` a 
genus by Boissier and rightly attributed by him to Wallich, whose mention of it a i 
genus (not a section) was overlooked in Gen. Plant, Don's F. macrophylla, lant, 
Nepal, Wallich, with 3-4 flowers and a trifid stigma, must be meant for this p!" 
though he describes the flowers as yellow.
