52 THE BOOK OF THE LILY 



enough to stimulate the exertions of hybridists, and 

 probably in due time we shall have the same hybrid 

 repeated. 



L. parvum hybridum is the newest hybrid known at 

 the present date. It was exhibited in June 1904 by Mr 

 Perry under this name, but no record of its parentage is 

 known or at least divulged. It may be described as having 

 the growth, foliage and stature of L. parvum, but with 

 very drooping flowers with recurving petals. In colour 

 the flowers are those of a rich variety of pardalinum in 

 miniature. 



The following species of Lilium are not included in 

 the descriptive notes, as they are either not in cultiva- 

 tion in Europe or are extremely rare, and therefore do 

 not come into the scope of this handbook, which does 

 not assume to be a scientific treatise. The names of 

 these Lilies are : 



Bakeri. Jbrmosum. ochraceum* 



Bolanderi. Glehni. oxypetalum. 



Davidt. lankongense. papilliferum. 



Delavayi. myriophyllum. Rostherni. 



Duchartrei. mirabile. sutchunense. 



Fargesi. Masseyt. taliense.
