vince of Yunnan, and it has since been collected in North- 
West Szechuen, by Mr. E. H. Wilson, who sent bulbs to 
Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, to whom we are indebted 
for the specimen here figured. The shape of the perianth 
resembles that of L. japonicum, Thunb., which differs in 
having broader, more membranous, shortly petiolate leaves, 
with never less than three nerves. In typical L. Brownii 
the perianth tapers gradually from a narrow, non-saccate 
base. 
Descr.—Bulb ovoid, three inches in diameter, sealy. 
Stem from one to six feet high, naked below, densely leafy 
above, glabrous, sometimes bearing bulbils in the axils of 
the leaves. Leaves linear or lanceolate-linear, acuminate, in- 
serted by a thickened base, glabrous, one-nerved, four inches 
long, a quarter of an inch wide, margins slightly revolute. 
Flowers usually two at the apex of the stem, nodding ; 
pedicels short. Perianth about five inches long, tubular- 
campanulate, white inside, yellow in the tube, flushed 
with dull crimson on the outside, darker on the midribs ; 
outer segments lanceolate, one inch wide; inner segments 
obovate-elliptic, two inches wide; nectary wide, glabrous. 
Stamens rather shorter than the perianth; filaments minutely 
puberulous in the lower part; anthers almost basifixed, 
half an inch long, orange. Style a little longer than the — 
Stamens; stigma three-lobed, green.—C. H. Wricur.
