This is another new Lily which has been imported by 
Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., from the Shan States, in Upper 
Burma. Its nearest allies are L. nepalense, Bot. Mag., 
tab. 7043, and ZL. neilgherrense, Bot. Mag., tab. 6332. 
From the latter it differs by its shorter and more open 
tube, brown anthers, and style as long as the perianth 
segments. It is mentioned in Collett and Hemsley’s paper 
in the Journal of the Linnean Society under the rame of 
netlgherrense, as having been collected at Boni, in the Shan 
States, by Mr. Boxall. It forms a connecting link between 
the two sections Hulirion and Martagon by having the 
perianth-segments subrecurved in the upper half. Our 
drawing was made from a specimen flowered by Messrs. 
Hugh Low & Co, in September, 1891. 
Desor. Bulb large, globose; scales lanceolate. Stem 
stiffly erect, glabrous, three or four feet long. Leaves 
scattered, lanceolate erecto-patent, sessile, glossy, bright 
green, three or four inches long. Flowers about three, 
arranged in a corymb or umbel, on long cernuous pedicels 
with a large lanceolate leaf at the middle. Perianth 
openly funnel-shaped, pale yellow, unspotted, tinted out-
