HAB. Loo-choo, leg. S. KANASHIEO, No. 340, fl. flavo. 



The present lily was previously identified with the Japanese L. callosum 

 S. et Z. The latter is however limited to the southern part of Japan, while 

 this new species is found only in the Loo-choo islands. The difference be- 

 tween the two species is, besides many others, observed in the color of the 

 flowers. The perianth of L. callosum is reddish, while L. Kanashiroi is yello- 

 wish. The callosities at the apex of the leaves of the former can never be 

 seen in the latter.
