In this Sub-Genus we have many superb forms, among which, we may place first the 

 very beautiful, early-flowering, canary-coloured Szovitzianum, with its 20 or 30 bell- 

 shaped, broad petalled flowers, beautifully spotted. Excclsum with its tall, peculiarly 

 .graceful, nankeen-coloured flowers, so exquisitely scented. Tenuifolium, elegant for 

 its slender foliage, handsomest among dwarf Lilies with its spike of scarlet bells. 

 iHuiYiboldtii and Pardalinum remarkable for their tall floriferous spikes of light orange 

 flowers, variously spotted and tipped with carmine or scarlet. Parvum, one of the most 

 beautiful and floriferous, small as to its individual flower, but excessively graceful, and 

 very tall growing. Columlianum, remarkable for its golden bells. Polyphyllum, for 

 iits symmetrically purple spotted, bell-shaped, white flowers. The blood-red Dalmaticum, 

 6 to 8 feet high, bearing from 30 to 40 flowers. Hanson/, a very early stout-growing 

 kind, likely, when better known, to be an universal favourite ; and last, but not 

 least, Leichtlinii, long acknowledged to be, with its delicately yellow tinted, purple spotted 

 flowers, one of the most graceful Lilies in existence.
