ciated forms worthy of notice. We find, in good rich 
soil, and with good cultivation, these forms invariably 
revert back to the type after one or two years. 
Var. corymbiflorum.—A synonym for the varie- 
ties of Monstrosum. ‘These varieties include all that 
have any distinctive traits; other varieties listed in cata- 
logues present only such differences as may be seen 
with any of the varieties, when grown under different 
conditions. 
L. spectabile.—A synonym of ZL. Catesbei,

L. splendens.—A variety of ZL. elegans, Page 209. 
L. stenophyllum.— A. variety of ZL. callosum,

L. superbum.—Our common Swamp Lily; were 
it not common it would receive the attention it so 
richly deserves. In its native habitat, we have known a 
specimen ten feet high with sixty-three flowers. As a 
rule, it grows from four to six feet high, with from four 
to twelve flowers. It is a splendid plant to grow among 
shrubbery. In such situations the ground should be 
mulched heavily to keep it moist, and clumps from six 
to eight feet high, bearing an immense number of orange- 
red flowers tipped with bright crimson, will be the re- 
sult. These noble plants, lifting themselves far above 
the Rhododendrons and Azaleas, have a majestic appear- 
ance. ‘The variety carolinianum is described as an inter- 
mediate form between Superbum and Canadense; it is 
but little known. We do not think that any of our 
native Lilies, as cultivated, are very well known in other 
countries, judging from the following, which we take. 
from Dr. Wallace’s notes on Lilies. In speaking of the 
Superbum, he says: ‘‘A very valuable, late, graceful 
Lily, in growth so like Canadense, that it is difficult to 
distinguish them, except by means of the immature 
flower buds, which are rounded in Superbum, but trian-
