LILIUM 



LILIUM 



22. pardalinum, Kellogg. LEOPARD LILY. PANTHER 

 LILY. Fig. 2165. Bulb a scaly rhizome, quite similar to 

 that of L. Parryi, but more branching and irregular in 

 form: st. 3-6 ft. high, smooth, pale green: Ivs. horizon- 

 tal, 3-4 in. long, %-l in. wide, usually in 3 or 4 whorls 

 of 9-15 Ivs. each, with a few scattered ones above and 

 below: fls. 1-30, 2-4 in. diam. with segms. reflexed to the 

 gt., about half of each one, at the base, is bright yellow, 

 spotted brownish purple, while the remainder, at the 

 end is bright orange-scarlet; anthers red. Late June 

 to early Aug. Sierra Nevada Mts. of Calif. El. 28, 29. 

 F.M. 1872:33 (as L. washingtonianum) . Gn. 20:526. 

 G. 32:463. J.H. III. 49:147; 51:79. Gn. M. 9:236. 

 This lily is the best and most easily grown Calif, 

 species for general cult.; hardy, robust, and permanent. 

 Var. angustifdlium, Kellogg, is identical, except the Ivs. 

 are much narrower, and it is of more slender growth: 

 it is sometimes confused with L. Roezlii. Var. calif6r- 

 nicum, Hort. (L. californicum, Lindl.), has smaller 

 Ivs., mostly scattered, and larger, more richly colored 

 fls. G.C. III. 30:43. Var. pallidifdlium, Baker (var. 

 puberulum, Leicht.), has paler green Ivs. and smaller, 

 paler-colored fls. than those of the type, not so thickly 

 spotted. Var. Robinsonianum, Moore, is a stronger 

 grower than the type, sometimes 8-9 ft. high, with 

 mostly scattered Ivs. and larger, more 

 richly colored fls. Var. luteum, Hort., 

 produces pure yellow fls., spotted brown- 

 ish purple; in other respects it is the 

 same as the type. There are also several 



tipped red or scarlet and spotted brownish purple; 

 anthers red. Late June to early Aug. Santa Cruz Mts. 

 of Calif. Allied to L. pardalinum and of the same easy 

 cult. 



24. Humboldtii, Roezl & Leicht. (L. Bloomerianum, 

 Kellogg). Fig. 2166. Bulb semi-rhizomatous, oblique, 

 somewhat similar to that of L. washingtonianum, but 

 with larger, broader scales: st. stout, 4-6 ft. high, 

 smooth or slightly pubescent, deep green tinged and 

 spotted purplish 

 brown, clothed 

 with Ivs. from 

 the ground up- 

 ward: Ivs. hori- 

 zontal, glaucous- 

 green, 3-5 in. 

 long, %-\ in. 

 wide, usually in 

 45 whorls of 

 10-15 Ivs. each: 

 fls. 1-30, 4^5 in. 

 diam., bright 

 orange -yellow, 

 spotted deep 

 purple-brown; 



2165. Lilium pardalinum. (Xj-s) 



2164. Lilium superbum. 



other rather indis- 

 t i n c t so - called 

 vars. and an un- 

 named hybrid be- 

 tween L. pardali- 

 num and L. 

 Humboldtii. An- 

 other hybrid be- 

 tween L. pardali- 

 num&ndL. Parryi, 

 called L. Bur- 

 bankii, Hort., pro- 

 duces fls. resemb- 

 ling those of the 



former in color and the latter in size and shape. G.M. 

 54:273. Closely allied to L. pardalinum is L. parvi- 

 flbrum, Hook. (L. Sayi, Nutt., L. pardalinum var. 

 minus, Hort.), but the fls., which are of the same color, 

 are smaller and are solitary or 2 or 3 are borne together. 

 June, July. Vancouver Isl. to N. Calif, along the sea- 

 coast. Rather capricious under cult. 



23. Roezlii, Regel (L. Hdrtwegii, Baker). Bulb similar 

 to that of L. pardalinum: st. smooth, 2-5 ft. high: Ivs. 

 horizontal, 2-5 in. long, J^-^in. wide, usually scat- 

 tered, sometimes a few of the upper or middle ones 

 whorled: fls. 1-10, 2-3 in. diam., bright orange-yellow 



2166. LUium Humboldtii. (XJi) 



anthers red. Late June to early 

 Aug. Sierra Nevada Mts. of 

 Calif. El. 32. F.S. 19:1973- 

 34. Gn. 20:568. J.H. III. 42: 

 177; 62:167. G. 2:243; 33:121. 

 C. L. A. 5 : 45. A magnificent 

 species, very stately and beau- 

 tiful; although rather capricious 

 under cult., it usually suc- 

 ceeds fairly well. Var. magnifi- 

 cum, Hort., is even superior, 

 being a stronger, more robust 

 grower, often 8 or 9 ft. high, with 

 larger, more richly colored fls., often tinged reddish 

 purple. Var. puberulum, Hort. (L. puberulum, Duch.), 

 is identical with the type, except the st. and under side 

 of the Ivs. are more densely pubescent. Var. ocellatum, 

 Kellogg, from the island of Santa Rosa, has a smaller, 

 more globular bulb and brighter green Ivs. than the 

 type: the fls. are of the same color, but each purple 

 spot is surrounded with a red circle or eye. 



25. columbianum, Hanson (L. nitidum, Hort. L. 

 oregonense, Hort.). Bulb similar to that of L. Hum- 

 boldtii, but smaller and more globular: st. smooth, 2-4 

 ft. high: Ivs. horizontal, 1^-3 in. long, upper ones 

 scattered, lower ones in whorls of 4-5: fls. 1-12, 2-3 

 in. diam., bright orange-yellow, spotted purplish brown; 

 anthers red. Late June to early Aug. Ore., Wash., and 

 Brit. Col. Smaller in every way, but closely related to 

 L. Humboldtii and perhaps should only be ranked as a 

 variety of it. 



26. Kelloggii, Purdy. Bulb similar to that of L. 

 columbianum: st. smooth, slender, 2-4 ft. high: lys. 

 mostly verticillate, partly scattered: fls. 1-15, 1M~2 in. 

 diam., delicately fragrant, with segms. reflexed to the 

 st.; color pink, spotted purplish black, changing to 

 deeper rosy purple; anthers orange or red. Late June, 

 July. N. W. Calif. Gn. 59, p. 330; 62, p. 200; 64, p. 

 16. Very dainty and graceful.
