This is a dwarf lily of the Bakerianum-Delavayi 

 group from the compax'atively dry eastern Yunnan. 

 Its relationships will be discussed when L. Delavayi, 

 Franch., is dealt with (p. 159).

This is represented by two stunted specimens less 

 than a foot high, with unopened flower-buds — Taquet 

 2101. Nakai in Flora Koreana, p. 257, has suggested 

 reduction to L. cernuum, Kom. Mr. Grove, Mr. 

 Wilson, and I agree that the type represents a 

 young stage of L. callosum, Sieb. et Zucc. 

 L. Tenii, Levi, in Fedde Repert. Nov. Spec. vi. (1909),

This plant has been referred to already in dealing 

 with L. ocliraceum. See above, p 134. The species 

 is retained as possibly valid. 



III. 

 L. Davidi, Franch., and its Allies. 



There has been considerable discussion and confusion 

 with regard to this lily and the species allied to it. Our 

 knowledge of L. Davidi is based on very imperfect 

 material. Its story will be found in Elwes' Monograph 

 which contains the original description. The figure there 

 was taken from what Mr. Elwes calls the single and not 

 very perfect specimen. The author suggests that the 

 colour of the lily flower may be brighter than the figure. 

 The points in the description to which I would call atten- 

 tion particularly are : — 



Stem slender, green spotted with purplish and covered 

 with pubescent hairs ; leaves 60-70, crowded towards the
