the Japanese name Ki-suge is given, but what this plant was like 

 I am not able to determine and it does not appear to be included 

 in any other list of Japanese plants. In a later volume (Index 

 Plantarum Japonicarum 2: 198. 1905), Matsumura makes no 

 mention of this variety in listing the kinds of daylilies known for 

 Japan. 



There is no evidence submitted by Baker that the flowers of 

 these specimens had an element of fulvous coloring. For all we 

 know this dwarf form with narrow leaves may be related to one 

 of the types recently described as H. Forrestii, H. nana, or H. 

 plicata. Baker's plants may be disregarded in considering the 

 fulvous daylilies, and especially any type to be included with the 

 H. fulva of Linnaeus or to be considered as closely related to it. 



The H. fulva longituba of Maximowicz 

 The Russian botanist Maximowicz described in 1885 (Garten- 

 flora 34: 98, pi. 1 187) and illustrated with a colored plate certain 

 daylilies of a type obtained from the wild in the Hakone Mts. of 

 Japan and said also to be in cultivation in Japan. The flowers 

 are described as orange-yellow with slight fulvous tinges and as 

 having the perianth-tube long and narrow. This type is de- 

 scribed as different from the H. fulva of Linnaeus (the clon 

 Europa) in having narrower leaves, and flowers with less fulvous 

 color and a longer perianth-tube. The description by Maximo- 

 wicz is followed by a note by E. Regel, Director of the Botanical 

 Garden in St. Petersburg, stating that in good garden soil these 

 wild plants differ from the old form of H. fulva chiefly in having 

 a long perianth-tube. 



The Hemerocallis fulva clon Maculata 

 Of all plants thus far obtained from the wild in the Orient, the 

 one giving rise to the clon Maculata is most like the Daylily 

 Europa. The coloring of the flowers is only slightly different ; 

 the fulvous shades in the outer half of the opened flower are 

 slightly paler and the arching band across the mid-section of the 

 petals is slightly darker. The flowers are larger than those of 

 Daylily Europa and the petals are of a different shape. The 

 plants are later in the period of blooming, but they are very 

 similar in habit of growth except that the scapes are slightly
