AND THEIK CULTURE. 175 



This rare, but very beautiful Lily, was flowered by ilr. Geo. Maw, at Beuthall Hall, 

 iu 1877, the flowers were then descrilied of a pale cream colour, speckled internally with 

 linear dark purple markings. "We have also flowered it at Colchester. It is a beautiful 

 and elegant form, colour yellowish, witli ])urple lines and spots, resembling much in 

 shape of flower the preceding form, Svjvitzianam. For remarks about its culture, sec 

 pages 19 and 20. 



40. L. Fonticum. — K. Koch, Linna3a, xxii., 234 ; Ducliartre Obs. 

 22. — Bulb, ovoid, an incli in diameter ; scales, numerous, lance-sliaped ; 

 stem, 1-2" to 2 feet high, slender, faintly pubescent in the upper part ; 

 leaves, 20 to 30 in number, scattered, lance-shaped, firm, ascending, 

 15 to 18 lines long, 4 to 5 lines broad, the upper one narrower; veins, 

 numei'ous, distinct; lower part of the inside, and edges pubescent; 

 flowers, 1 to 6 in number, nodding, 18 to 21 lines long, yellow; seg- 

 ments, oblanceolate, reflexed below the middlp, where they are 3 or 4 

 lines broad, scarcely dotted ; groove, shallow ; filaments 3 or 4 lines 

 long, half the length of the perianth; ovary, 6 lines long, a little 

 shorter than the club-shaped style; capsule, 1 inch long, obovoid, 

 obtuse-angled. Mountains of Asia Minor, at an altitude of 6,000 to 

 7,000 feet, K. Koch ; the mountainous regions of Lazistan Balansa, 

 Plantes de I'Orient, anno 18'36, Xo. 1,531, It has the leaves and 

 habit of Moiiadelphum ; but is more slender, and the typical perianth 

 of this species is more revolute. Kegel's figure (Gartenflora, t. 436), 

 which is referred by K. Koch to Fonticum, in rny opinion represents 

 the true SzocHziaiium. In De Candolle's herbarium there is a narrow- 

 leaved specimen from Lazistan, in which the leaves are more crowded, 

 the lower ones 3 inches long, and 3 or 4 lines broad, resembling a 

 variety of Monadclphum. 



"VVe cannot recognise this form as ought, but a variety of Szovit;iamtui, probably our 

 variety. B. See preceding page.
