The plant is L. Henryi, Baker, which thus extends 

 into Kweichow. 

 L. Cavaleriei, Levi, et Vaniot in Mem. Ace. Nuovi 

 Lincei, Roma, xxiii (1905), 372. This is a puzzling 

 fragment. The material consists of one detached 

 flower and a small portion of stem with three leaves,

 connection with that plant. I append the original 

 description : — 



" L ilium Cavaleriei, Levi, et Vnt. Sp. nov. 



" Differt a praecedente foliis multo rarioribus, 

 longioribus et latioribus, praesertimque flore luteo 

 et profunde lateque aperto, stylo et staminibus 

 perianthio ferme aequalibus.

In his Flore de Kouy-Tcheou, the record of this 

 lily is subscribed " Sans localite ni indication."

 fayon — il reste un peu ferme et retoinbe en cloche." 



The red lily, 1 take it, is his L. linceorum —
