After having hamlled several hundred hulbs of tliis T.ilj', we ean liardly agree with 

 the deseriiitioii ahove given of the bulb. For a more correct representation, sec page 107, 

 where a round bulb is given. If the elongatetl figure (?) in the annexed woodcut is 

 intended to represent the Imlli, it is utterly unlike those we have seen, and the fact that 

 it is an article of food in .lapan, ]ioints out that tlie bulb must be of a respectable si/e. 

 No otlier Lily has tlic lilunted thickened bracts, peculiar to this form, and shown iu th« 

 woodcut, hence the name.
