CHAPTER XV 



LIST OF SPECIES, VARIETIES AND SYNONYMS 



THE following list is an index to the species of Lilies 

 together with the names of the principal varieties. The 

 synonyms of species and varieties according to the system 

 followed at Kew are also given in the list. 



The recognised species are preceded by a number 

 followed by the named varieties. The synonyms and 

 unauthoritative names that occur in catalogues are given 

 without a preceding number. 



Many names that were at one time applied to Lilies 

 have been omitted, as they have either become obsolete 

 or exist only in obscure botanical and gardening works. 



The index as given here comprises all names that the 

 cultivator is likely to find in the more recent botanical 

 works or in trade catalogues, both here and abroad. 



The popular names are given in cases where these are 

 in general use, and in some of the Japanese species and 

 varieties the vernacular name is given. 



The native country or origin of each species is stated 

 and the figures at the side of the page correspond with 

 the page on which the name occurs. 



Rare kinds or those not yet introduced are marked 

 thus*, and hybrids are marked f :
