LILY. 221 
follows: ‘‘This lovely Lily must not be confounded 
with the L. pomponium, usually sold as such; this latter 
being simply the red variety of L. pyrenaicum. L. pom- 
pontum is elegant in growth, possesses a vigorous con- 
stitution, and blooms earlier than the numerous varieties 
of L. chalcedonicum and L£. pyrenaicum, to which it is 
related. It grows about three feet in height, is of erect 
habit, and has long linear leaves. The flowers are pro- 
duced in a lax raceme, one foot through, and a well 
established plant will bear as many as twenty flowers. 
It is a native of the Maritime Alps.” The variety, py- 
renaicum, is a similar, but smaller plant, with small 
yellow flowers. A native of the Pyrenees, as its name 
would imply. The variety, albanwm, is an Iberian form, 
like the yellow »yrenaicum, but with a little larger leaves, 
and pollen of a different color; the odor is sweet, like 
that of honey, whereas the savor of the garden form is 
rather nauseous. All the varieties are easily grown in 
the open border, increasing quite rapidly.

L. pseudo-tigrinum.—This form has had some 
little difficulty in keeping a name, having been sold as 
L. Fortunei, and. later, in fact, now, as L. Maximowiczti. 
It is, in every respect excepting color, identical with 
L. Leichtlinii, growing from four to five feet high, bear- 
ing from six to twelve light red flowers, with numerous 
small black spots. It is variable in the form, as well as 
in the color of its flowers; some of the stems are quite 
downy, others smooth. The color of the flowers seems 
to be somewhat governed by the character of the soil in 
which it grows. It is propagated readily from seed, as 
well as by offsets. A peculiar feature of this Lily is the 
length of time it continues in bloom, a strong plant 
remaining in flower for upwards of four weeks.
