166 NOTES ON LILIES 



at till' liasc ; s(\2^ments, lance-sliapcd, bluntish, G to 9 Hues broad in 

 the middle, dce]tly revoluto, the lower half abruptly orauge, covered 

 with large purjDlish brown spots, and slightly lamellate-papillose ; 

 groove, deep, with smooth edges ; stamens, shorter than the })erianth 

 by one-third; anthers, red, 4 or o lines long; style, 12 to 14 lines 

 long, scarcely longer than the ovary ; capsule, oblong, umbilicated at 

 the apex, with somewhat acute angles. California, W. Lobb, 249,. 

 &c. 



Var, 1. CaUformcioii , hb., Lindley, Floral jNIag, 1872, t. 33. — 

 Leaves, fewer, smaller, and in less regular whorls ; flowers, 1 to 3 

 in number, longer, 3 or 4 inches long ; segments, bluntish, 9 to 12 

 lines broad, the upper half, as in the type, of a brilliant scarlet, the 

 lower half abruj^tly orange, with large purplish brown dots ; filaments 

 and style, 1 .} to 2 inches long. California, Hartweg. I have seen 

 the original specimen in Liudley's herbarium, now at Cambridge. 



Yar. 2, I'aUidifuliifm, Baker. — Puhetulum, hort., Leichtlin, non 

 Torrey. — Taller, in our gardens the stem being 4 or 5 feet hig-h, 

 green and smooth ; leaves, 50 to 80 in number, oblanceolate, smooth;, 

 gale green, firmer than those of Pardalinwn, distinctly five to seven 

 nerved, the upper ones usually in ref^ular whorls, the lower ones 

 scattered at the base, at the time of flowering; flowers, if more 

 numerous, in a loose raceme or umbel ; pedicels, elongated, nodding 

 at the top; ])erianth, 2 to 2.\ inches long; segments, more acute, 5 

 or 6 lines broad in the middle, deeply i-eflexed below the middle, of 

 a paler red on the inner surface than in Fardalimim, and more tinged 

 with yellow at the base, with fewer and smaller dots; stamens, shorter 

 than the perianth by nearly one-third. California, hort., Leichtlin. 



Var. 3, Boiirr/d'i, Baker, diflers from PallitlifoHnm, in the few 

 specimens I have seen, by having narrower leaves all arranged in 

 regular whorls, and distinctly three to Ave nerved, the veins on the 

 lower part of the inner surface ciliated, and the dots more numerous 

 and larger, after the manner of Fardalinum. Banks of Lake 

 Winipeg, Borgeau. ^ ery recently introduced into English gardens. 



This is an cxtnnnelj- variable form, ued doubtless to locality as well as habit, see- 

 pages 24 and 25. We recognise, in the main, 3 forms. 



1. Puheridum, the pale tinted small spotted foiin, Avith short blunt frequent foliage, 

 crowded at base, whorled al)ove. 



2. Fardalinum, the medium tinted form, witli large spots and reddish tijis, with 

 long narrow pointed dark foliage. 



3. Cnlifornicwn, tlie richest tinted and finest form, with large spots, and scarlet, 

 tipped perianth, foliage similar to tiiat of Pardaliitinn. 



])Ut as to foliiige, there is gi'cat individual variation in all three forms. 



4. There is also another lorm describeil by Dr. JMoore as " var. llohinsonianinn," whiclv 

 is simply a larger growing form, varying sliglitly. " In all the plants we have seen 

 cultivated under this name, tlu^ jiale green stems, and alternate lanceolate leaves, liave 

 been well marked features, while in the colour of the Howers, the tint of sanguineous red 

 pervading the u])per half of the periantii segment is ileeper, and the ocellate sj)ots (dark 

 .spots on j'ellow gi'ound within the red jiortion) are more distinct." Dr. Moore, in 

 ^•Florist," Oct., 1875. For a good plate of JlumbohUH, Callfornicvin, and Fardalimim, 

 sec that number.
