Neither can we agree to the union of Lilium roseum with L. ma- 
crophyllum of Don, which is described as having yel/ow flowers. 
Descr. Bulb, according to Dr. Wallich, “an inch long, ob- 
long-ovate, tunicated, the scales oblong-lanceolate, shining, the 
exterior ones chestnut-brown.”’ Stem, including the flowers, a 
foot and a half high, erect, terete, glabrous, as is every part of 
the plant. Leaves crowded at the base of the stem, but alter- 
nate, sessile, linear-acuminate, grassy, the lowermost very long, 
a foot or a foot and a half, gradually smaller and more distant 
upwards, broader at the base, and passing into bracteas, all of 
them carinated. The stem terminates in a raceme of eight or 
ten rather large, handsome, drooping, lilac flowers. Pedicels 
nearly an inch long, shorter than the lanceolato-subulate bractea. 
Perianth between infundibuliform and campanulate. Sepals free 
to their base, almost exactly spathulate, the apices reflexed, the 
base within destitute of a real nectary, but furrowed, white, with 
a dark purple streak. Stamens six, hypogynous, as long as, or 
_ rather longer than the pistil, slightly declined. Filament filiformi- 
subulate, white. Anthers oblong, deep purple. Pollen deep 
orange-red. Ovary oblong, obtuse, with three deep furrows, 
and three lesser intermediate ones, three-celled, many-ovuled. 
Ovules in two rows, attached to the inner angle of the cell. 
Style as long as the stamens, and declined with them, filiform ; 
the stigma curved upwards, three-lobed. Capsule, according to 
Dr. Royle, “ turbinate, obtusely six-angled. Seeds wingless.”
