LILIUM 



'22. p&rdalinum, Kellopg. Leopauh I.ii.v. rANiiiKK 

 Lily. Fig. 2U)5. Bulb a scaly rliizmiu', quite similar to 

 that of L. Parrtfi, but more braiichinj; and irregular in 

 form: st. ;?-(> ft. hiiili, .smooth, pale srccn: Ivs. hoiizon- 

 tjil, 3-4 in. lonj;, ^4! in. wule, usually in o or 1 whorls 

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

 below: fls. l-'M). 2-4 in. diam. with set;ms. rellexed to the 

 St., about half of oaeh one, at the base, is bright yellow, 

 spotted bro\^^lish jiurple, while the remainder, at the 

 end is bright oranse-searlet ; anthers red. Late June 

 to early Mifi. Sierra Nevada Mts. of Calif. El. 28, 2<).

 — This lily is the best and most easily grown Calif. 

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

 \ ar. angustifolium, Kellogg, is identical, except the Ivs. 

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

 it is sometimes confused w-ith L. Roezlii. Var. calif6r- 

 niciun, Hort. (L. califdrniciim, Lindl.), has smaller 

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

 fls. G.C. in. 30:43. Var. paUidifolium, Baker (var. 

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

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

 spotted. Var. Robinsonianum, Moore, is a stronger 

 grower than the tyi)e, .sometimes .S-!) ft. high, with 

 mostly scattered Ivs. and larger, more 

 richly colored fls. Var. liitevuii, Hort., 

 produces pure yellow fls., spotted brown- 

 ish purple; in other respects it is the 

 same as the type. — There are also several 



tii>])ed red or scarlet and spotted brownish purple; 

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

 of Calif. — Allied to L. pardalinuin and of the same easy 

 cult. 



21. Hiimboldtii, Iloezl & Leicht. (L. BloomeriAnum, 

 Kellogg). Fig. 21(i('). Bulb semi-rhizomatous, oblique, 

 .somewhati similar to that of L. irdsliiiigloiiiniiKiii, but 

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

 smooth or slightly pubescent, deep green tinged and 

 spotted purplish 

 brown, (dothed if/'^ '' ^ 

 with Ivs. from

 zontal, glaucous- 

 green, 3-5 in.

 4-5 whorls of 

 10- L5 Ivs. each: 

 fls. 1-30, 4-5 in.

 ling tho.s(! of the 

 fonner in color and the latter in size and shape. C.M. 

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

 ftbrum, Hook. (L. iid]/i, Nutt., L. pardalinum var. 

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

 are .smaller and are solitary or 2 or 3 are bornc' together. 

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

 coa.'jt. Rather capricious under cult. 



23. Roezlii, Il<^eH/././/(:ir/i.t'C'jii, Baker). Bulb similar 

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

 horizontal, 2-5 in. long, 34-J^in. wide, usually .scat- 

 tered, Wiinetirnes a few of the upper or middle ones 

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

 .'Vug. Sierra Nevada Mts. of 

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

 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 

 olored fls., often tinged reddish 

 puberulum, Hort. {L. puberulum, Duch.), 

 is id(!ntical with the type, except the st. and under side 

 of tlie 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. 

 oregnnense, Hort.). Bulb similar to that of L. llum- 

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

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

 scat,t(^red, lower ones in whorls of 4-5: fls. 1-12, 2-3 

 in. diam., bright or.ange-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. f/umbnldtii and perhaps should only be ranked as a 

 variety of it. 



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

 colunilmiiiii.m: st. smooth, slender, 2-4 ft. high: Ivs. 

 mostly verticillate, partly scattered : fls. 1-15, 114-2 in. 

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

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

 deeper rcjsv [)ur|)le; anthers orange or red. Late June, 

 July. N. W. Calif. Gn. 59, p. 330; 02, p. 200; 64, p. 

 16. — Very dainty and graceful.
