Botanifts are divided in their opinions refpe&ing the genus of 

 this plant ; Liknaus confiders it as an Anthericum, Hailer 

 and Miller make it an Hemerocallis. 



It is a native of Switzerland, where, Haller informs us, it 

 grows abundantly in the Alpine meadows, and even on the 

 fummits of the mountains ; with us it flowers in May and June. 



It is a plant of great elegance, producing on an unbranched 

 ftem about a foot and a half high, numerous flowers of a delicate 

 white colour, much fmaller, but refembling in form thofe of the 

 common white lily, pofleffing a confiderable degree of fragrance, 

 their beauty is heightened by the rich orange colour of their 

 anthera? ; unfortunately they are but of fhort duration. 



Miller defcribes two varieties of it differing merely in 

 fize. 



A loamy foil, a fituation moderately moift, with an eaftern or 

 weftern expofure, fuits this plant bed; fo fuuated, it will increafe 

 by its roots, though not very fart, and by parting of thefe in the 

 autumn, it is ufually propagated. 



Parkinson defcribes and figures it in his Parad. Terrejl., 

 obferving, that "divers allured by the beauty of its flowers, had 

 " brought it into thefe parts."
