 beautiful native 

 lily, but indifferent to cult., the best specimens usually 

 being found in a wild state. Var. andinum, Nutt., the 

 We.stern Red Lily-, is a stronger grower, with larger, 

 more richly colored tls. and mostly scattered Ivs, Oliio 

 to Mont., Col. and Ark. Var. wausharaicum, Leiclit., 

 originally found in Wau.shara Co., Wis., is very similar, 

 if not identical. So also are Ij. haicaMtum., Fitzp., 

 L. monlfinum, Nelson, and L. umlxdlatum, Pursh.

 p. 201. — There are innumerable varieties and the 

 origin of some of them is difficult to trace, but they 

 probably have some blood of related species, such as 

 L. croceum, L. bulhifiriiin and L. daurirum, in their 

 inak(vup. Var. alutaceum, Baker & Dyer (var. 

 aurcum nlgro-mandiiluin, llort.; var. Kikak, Hort.), 

 grows only 6-9 in. high, blooms earlier and iiroduces 

 solitary, yiale apricot-colored fls. spotted jiurjilc-black. 

 F.S. 22:2319. A form of this, var. grandiflorum, is a 

 larger, stronger grower. Var. armeniacum, Baker & 

 Dyer (var. ivniistimi, Kunth), blooms later than the 

 type, producing 1-2 bright orange-scarlet, unspotted 

 fls., smooth inside: the Ivs. are peculiarly twisted. Var. 

 atrosanguineum, Baker ife Dyer (var. conlsrans, Hort.), 

 produces solitary deep blood-red fls., spotted pur[)le- 

 black. Var. Alice Wilson, Hort., produces pure lemon- 

 yellow si)ott(ui lis. Var. aurantiacum, Hort., jiroduces 

 unsi)otted salmon fls. P.M. 6: 127. Var. bicolor, Hort.
