 Lilium auratum. 



I X '.1) 



rfibro-vittatum, Hort., has a wide crimson band through 

 each segm. and numerous crimson spots; it is thought 

 by some to be a hybrid between L. auratum and L. 

 speciosum, as it resemble the latter more in bulb and 

 habit of growth. Var. cruentum, Hort., is quite similar. 

 Var. rftbro-pictum, Hort., produces white fls. spotted 

 crimson, whik; the band through each segm. is yellow 

 at its base and red at the end. Var. pictum, Hort., is 

 similar, but. the yellow portion of the band is absent. 

 Var. virginale, Hort., resembles the type, except the 

 spots are yellow; there is also an uns])ot.ted form, known 

 as virginale album, Hort. Var. Wittei, Hort. {L. 

 Wittei, Suring.), produces fls. of the same color as the 

 latter, but the segms. are shorter and broader than those 

 of any other variety, and, unlike all others, they are 

 smooth, not jiapillo.se, inside. El. 16. Var. Tashiroi, 

 Hort., is described as a dwarf, large-fld. form of the 

 type. 



IS. specidsum, Thunb. Showy Lily. Fig. 2162. 

 Often erroneously called L. lancifolium, a synonym of 

 L. ekgaiis. Bulb globular, .3-4 in. diam., retldish purple 

 or brownish, rarely yellow or orange; 

 scales broad and thick: st. 2-4 ft. high, 

 smooth, green, often tinged and dotted 

 purple: Ivs. 12-25 or more, horizontal, 

 3-6 in. long, 3^-1 '2 '"■ wide: fls. 1-10, 

 4—6 in. diam., delicately fragrant, with 

 segms. often reflexed to the st.; they are 

 white, sufTased rose-pink in the_center 

 and spotted blood-red, with a green 

 stripe at the base; anthers red. Late

 tiful and satisfactory of .all lilies, robust, permanent, 

 e;tsily grown and highly recommended for both pots 

 and open ground. Vars. rdseum, Hort., and rftbrum, 

 Hort., oft(!n catalogued as distin(-t, are really very 

 similar to the type, but the fls. of the latter are rather 

 deeper in color. Gn. 36:4:54; 60, p. 313; 70, p. 187.
