In low copses and swamps, on blue clay soil : Canada to 

 Virginia. 1/. July, Aug. v. v. The most stately 

 plant of this family in North America ; the number 

 and elegance of its flowers are astonishing. I have, in 

 favourable situations, seen stems of about seven feet 

 high, with from thirty to fifty flowers, disposed in a 

 graceful manner in form of a chandelier.

In the tenth volume of the Linnean Transactions, A. B. 

 Lambert, Esq. in his account of the Pallasian Herba- 

 rium, has given an excellent figure of this plant, and 

 suspect^ it very justly to be a Fritillaria : when I ex- 

 amined .he Lew isian Herbarium I had no idea of 

 finding it under Lilium, and made a drawing and de- 

 scription under the above name, for the Travels of 

 Lewi? and Clark.
