“um, in its large, erect, open, bell-shaped flowers, which 
are deep red, yellowish in the center, and dark spotted. 
It is one of the most desirable of its class, flowering well 
in partial shade. Like others nearly allied, this species 
has many varieties, most of which are described under 
other species. 
Easter Lily.—A common name for L. longiflorum 
eximium, formerly applied to L. candidum, Page 202. 
L. elegans.—An early flowering Lily, and one of 
the best for general cultivation, for early flowers and for 
display. It was formerly sent out under the name of 
L. Thunbergianum, which is now regarded as a sub- 
variety of the species. It is a variable species, there 
now being listed more than a score of varieties, and 
probably as many sub-varieties. The type grows about 
one foot high, with stout, erect stems, furnished with 
numerous narrow leaves, and terminated with an umbel 
of dark orange-red flowers, from five to six inches across. 
Dr. Wallace, the celebrated authority on Lilies, has 
made the following very excellent classification of the 
varieties : 
Group A. 
Var. armeniacum ( venustwm).—One of the latest 
flowering ; a rich vermilion orange-colored form, with- 
out spots, known at once by its peculiar twisted foliage ; 
it grows about one foot high.
