 which, in the expanded flower, are falcate only at the apex, and are 

 not papillose on the inner surface, and have a shallow groove on the 

 keel; stamens, slightly curved, and parallel with the style; leaves, 

 heart-shaped-ovate, with a reticulated venation and long stalks. It

 of all the true Lilies, being completely different from all the rest in 

 possessing long petioles, and in the shape and nerving of its leaves. 

 Thunberg, who was the first of the post-Linngean botanists, to gather 

 and describe the plant, placed it originally in Hemerocallis, but on 

 better second thoughts changed his mind, and admitted it into 

 Lilium. Salisbury, long ago, made for it a distinct genus, which he
