228 BULBS AND TUBEROUS-ROOTED PLANTS. 
produce from ten to fifteen bright scarlet flowers, with 
numerous small black spots. Notwithstanding its stately 
form and gorgeous display, it is classed with weedy plants, 
because of its rapid increase and ease of cultivation ; 
whereas, in gardens of any considerable extent, it should 
have a prominent place and be confined to it. 
Var. flore pleno (Double Flowering Tigrinum),— 
A magnificent plant, reaching a height of six feet, with 
a diameter of more than three feet, bearing, in a season, 
more than sixty flowers; continuing in bloom more 
than six weeks. 
Var. splendens.—1]n a rich soil and partially shaded 
situation, will grow to the height of six feet, producing 
an immense number of flowers in a pyramidal cluster. 
Var. Maximowiczii.—Sometimes sold under the 
name of L. Fortunei, and is often called a variety of L. 
Leichtlinii, Page 214; flowers a light orange-red, with 
small black dots. This differs from the species in not 
haying axillary bulblets. It is a very showy plant, flow- 
ering in August, and is increased rapidly from seed. 
All the varieties of Tigrinum, excepting this, are rapidly 
increased from the axillary bulbs, which should be 
planted as soon as they drop; they make bulbs that 
flower the second year. 
L. umbellatum.—A synonym of L. bulbiferum, 
Page 201. 
L. Van Houttei.—A variety of JL. elegans. 
L. venustum.—A variety of ZL. elegans, Page 207. 
L. Wallacei.—A very showy lily, but whether a 
distinct species or a garden hybrid is a question not yet 
decided. It is of easy culture, increasing rapidly, and 
flowering most profusely. In form it is intermediate 
between Maximowiczii and Concolor. The flowers are 
vermilion-orange, spotted at the base and center with 
numerous slightly raised small maroon spots; it is one 
of the latest flowering sorts.
