cum ; it is very tender, will not endure even a Virginian 
winter. Bulbs delicate, and impatient of removal. It 
is cnly valuable in botanical collections. 
L. cattaneze.—A variety of Z. Martagon, Page 216. 
L. Chaixii.—A variety of LZ. crocewm, Page 206. 
L. chalcedonicum.—A very old and handsome 
Lily, rarely met in our gardens, from the fact of its not 
being sufficiently hardy to survive our winter. With but 
little care in protecting it, it would thrive with the same 
luxuriance as LZ. candidum, and, like that species, it dis- 
likes removals. In England this Lily grows from three 
to four feet high, bearing several pendulous, vermilion- 
red, turban-shaped flowers in July. With us it flowers 
in June, and is well worth a place in every collection 
(See lower flowers in engraving on opposite page). 
Var. pyrenaicum.—A variety from the moun- 
tains of Albania, is described by D. T. Fish as having 
fiery red flowers, and by Dr. Wallace as having yellow 
flowers. Mr. Fish refers to LZ. flavum, which he calls a 
‘yellow beauty.” The two forms undoubtedly exist, 
with a slight confusion in nomenclature. 
L. citrinum.—A variety of L. elegans. 
L. colchicum.—See L. monadelphum, Page 217. 
L. columbianum.—A native of Oregon, growing 
at a high elevation, in dry, sandy soil. It has a very 
graceful form, growing from three to four feet high ; 
flowers quite numerous, pendulous, and of a bright yel- 
low color. It thrives much better East than most of the 
Pacific Coast species. 
L. concolor.—A very dwarf and beautiful species 
from Japan. Its bulbs have a tendency to break up; a 
bulb not more than an inch in diameter will frequently 
throw up five or six stems; this will, in a measure, be 
avoided by leaving the bulbs where planted for a number 
of years. The plant grows from two to twelve inches 
high, and produces from one to three crimson, erect,
