related to the H. nana. No living plants or seeds of the daylilies in 

 these localities have, apparently, ever reached Europe or America 

 for culture. 



A Dwarf Clon Resembling Hemerocallis Dumortierii. A plant 

 which is indeed dwarf was received by the writer several years ago 



Figure 3. A plant standing less than a foot tall, as is indicated by the 

 six-inch rule. Apparently a dwarf type of H. Dumortierii. 



under the name Hemerocallis graminea but this is either a some- 

 what aberrant plant of H. Dumortierii or a hybrid with this species 

 as one parent. Figure 3 shows the habit of this plant and the six- 

 inch rule set upright in the plant shows the dwarf size. The foliage 

 is slender and about 15 inches long. The scapes are about a foot 

 long, slender, drooping and usually the 2 or 3 flowers of a scape are 

 in a compact cluster. The plant closely resembles H. Dumortierii 

 but is more dwarf, and the roots are less fleshy than the type com- 

 monly seen in culture or obtained from the wild. The plant shown 

 in Figure 3 has been grown for eight years without division. 



This plant has been hybridized with various daylilies and espec- 

 ially with H. nana and the seedlings are now being grown in the 

 hope that desirable dwarf plants will be obtained.
