DESCRIPTIVE AND CULTURAL NOTES 27 



those of L. longtflorum, and are wax-like in texture, of a 

 clear white hue, shaded at the base with green. The 

 fragrance resembles that of L. longtflorum. 



This Lily was first introduced from Japan under the 

 name of L. Uki-uri. It is hardy only in particularly 

 favoured localities, so that in a general way it is only 

 satisfactory when treated as a greenhouse plant in pots, 

 or started in growth in pots and then planted out in a 

 border. 



Colchester -ense, a variety known also as L. Brovunii odorum, 

 is now classed at Kew as a variety of L.japonicum. It is 

 described here with L. Broivnii, which it most resembles. 

 It was first introduced by Messrs Wallace of Col- 

 chester, the Lily specialists, who have stimulated Lily 

 culture more than any other firm in this country. 



L. Kelloggii. A new Lily from North-Western Cali- 

 fornia. It has a small bulb like L. columbianum. The 

 stem is slender, with leaves in whorls, and terminated 

 by several drooping, much reflexed flowers of a pinkish 

 purple spotted with maroon. It needs the same treat- 

 ment as L. Humboldtiy but no one in this country has 

 had much experience in growing it. In flower it 

 reminds one of Washingtonianum and Martagon. 



L. Liichtlini. Though introduced from Japan as long 

 ago as 1867, this Lily has always remained scarce, and 

 even now it is grown in very few gardens. It is one of 

 the most graceful Lilies ; it grows from three to four 

 feet, with slender stems and long narrow leaves. The 

 drooping flowers are on long stalks and narrow reflexed 

 petals of pale yellow, spotted with reddish chocolate. 

 It succeeds best under conditions favourable to L. 

 auratum, and flowers in July. The bulbs are small, 

 and scarcely to be distinguished from those of L. 

 Batemannia. 



What is known as the red L. Leichtlini is the variety 

 of L. tigrinum named jucundum or Maximo t w'iczn J which
