In this Sub-Genus we have many superb forms, among which, we maj- place first the 

 very beautiful, early-flowering, canary-coloured S:ovUzia)ium, with its 20 or 30 licll- 

 sha[X'd, broad petalled flowers, beautifully sjintted. Excdsum with its tail, peculiarly 

 gi'aceful, nankeen-coloured flowers, so exquisitely scented. Tenuifo! ium, elegant for 

 its slender foliage, handsomest among dwarf Lilies with its spike of scarlet bells. 

 Humlokltii7L\i(\.Pardidinuiiixvrai\\ki\.\Aeio\- their tall floriferous spikes of light orange 

 flowers, variously' spotted and tipped with carmine or scarlet. Parvuvi, one of the most 

 beautiful and floriferous, small as to its individual flower, but excessively graceful, and 

 very tall growing. Cvluiahinmim, remarkable for its golden bells. PolijphyUum, for 

 its symmetrically purple spotted, bell-shaped, white flowers. The blood-red lJalmatka,a, 

 •6 to 8 feet high, bearing from 30 to 40 flowers. Hanson!, a very early stout-gi'owing 

 kind, likely, when better known, to be an universal favourite ; anil last, but not 

 least, Lckhtlinil, long acknowledged to be, with its delicately yellow tinted, yiurple s^iotted 

 iloAvers, one of the most graceful Lilies in existence.
