We have to thank Mr. Aiton for the opportunity of publish- 

 ing a figure of this rare and ornamental plant. It flowered in 

 the Kew Gardetis, in the open ground, in the month of July 

 lalt. Stem about two feet high ; leaves nearly a fpan and half 

 long, but narrow in proportion to their length ; flower about a 

 fpan long, white, ufually fuffufed with purple along the middle 

 of the back of the outer fegments ,- anthers of a deep yellow 

 colour; flyle and Jligma green. The Lilia from China and Japan 

 appear to us fo pre-eminently ornamental, that we regret to find 

 fo many of the recorded ones (efpecialiy fpeciofum and hngi- 

 forum) from thofe parts ftill Grangers to our collections. 

 The prefent fpecies was imported from China, by the Directors 

 of the Eaft-India Company, in 1804. G.
