L. philadelphicum.—A species common to the 
Northeastern States, growing from one to one and one- 
half feet high, bearing from one to three upright flowers, 
orange-red spotted with black. This species is quite indif-

Var. grandiflorum.—Sent out by some dealers, 
and said to be much larger and more floriferous, growing 
from four to five feet high, producing from six to ten

L. phillippinense.—A species but little known,

L. polyphyllum.—A Himalayan species, growing
