no other, continuous with the stem and the same size till it 

 approaches the flower, when it is much thickened and bent. 

 Flower nodding; petals revolute, on the inside yellow 

 spotted with black, deep orange toward the points, which 

 are always pressed inwards as if squeezed betwixt the thumb 

 and finger : on the outside green, tinged with yellow ; the 

 nerve deeply channelled. Filaments green, acute : anthers 

 versatile, oblong-oval, purplish brown : pollen red-orange. 

 Style longer than stamens, purple, streaked at the upper 

 part : stigma very large, three-lobed, brown-purple. 



Authors seem to have been very doubtful whether this 

 species was distinct from Lilium superbum, and it is not 

 improbable that dwarf few -flowered specimens of the latter, 

 have been confounded with this. Mr. Nuttall, a real ob- 

 server, never himself saw it more than one-flow ered ; but 

 says that he has been well assured that in cultivation it pro- 

 duces many flowers on the stem in proliferous stages, and 

 that it then apparently becomes Lilium superbum. We are 

 quite of opinion that when this has been the case, a single 

 flowered variety of the latter species has been mistaken for 

 this. Our plant has not in our gardens shewn a disposition 

 to assume the habit of superbum in any respect. 



Native of Carolina and Florida. Flowers in September 

 and October, and according to M. Loddidges should have the 

 protection of a frame in winter, at which time the stem dies 

 down. The proper soil they state to be loam and peat. 

 Communicated by Messrs. Whitley, Brame and Milne, 

 who inform us, that they bought it of Messrs F baser, by 

 whom it was probably first introduced into this country.
