206 BULBS AND TUBEROUS-ROOTED PLANTS. 
star-shaped flowers, slightly spotted. Of this species we 
notice the following varieties : 
Var. Coridion.—In all respects like the species, 
excepting that the flowers are a trifle larger, and of a rich 
yellow color, slightly flaked with brown. 
Var. sinicum.—A Chinese variety, growing from 
two to three feet high, bearing from four to six larger 
and more spotted flowers, from a somewhat larger bulb 
than that of the species. But little known in this 
country. 
Var. pulchellum.—A Siberian variety, flowering 
much earlier, growing from one and one-half to two feet 
high, bearing a star-shaped crimson flower, very similar 
to that of the species, but with narrower and smaller 
petals. 
Var. Buschianum.—Scarlet with black spots. 
Var. Partheneion.—A form so closely allied to Z. 
concolor, that a specific name should not have been 
given it. 
L. cordifolium (Heart-shaped).—This is strictly a 
greenhouse plant, as it will not thrive out of doors; a 
native of Japan, growing from five to ten feet high; in 
flower it is one of the most majestic of all known Lilies. 
The flowers are produced in racemes from fifteen to 
twenty-four inches long, with from six to twelve flowers 
in araceme. See also under Giganteum, Page 212. 
L. Coridion.—See LZ. concolor, Page 200. 
L. corymbifiorum.—A form of ZL. speciosum. 
L. croceum (Orange).—This is an old and com- 
mon inhabitant of our gardens, and one of the most 
hardy. It is a native of the colder mountain districts of 
Europe, and will thrive in almost any soil or situation. 
It grows about two feet high, producing enormous heads 
of large, rich orange-colored flowers. The introduction 
of the Japanese species has nearly driven this Lily 
from many of our gardens. ;
