166 ttOTES ON LILIES 



at the base; segments, lance-shaped, bluntish, 6 to 9" Imes broad in 

 the middle, deeply revolute, the lower half abruptly orange, covered. 

 with large purplish brown spots, and slightly lamellate-papillose; 

 groove, deep, with smooth edges ; stamens, shorter than the perianth 

 by one-third; anthers, red, 4 or 5 lines long; style, 12 to 14 lines- 

 long, scarcely longer than the ovary ; capsule, oblong, umbilicated at 

 the apex, with somewhat acute angles. California, "W. Lobb, 249,, 

 &c. 



Var, 1. Californicum, hb., Lindley, Floral Mag, 1872, t. 33. 

 Leaves, fewer, smaller, and in less regular whorls ; flowers, 1 to 3 

 in number, longer, 3 or 4 inches long ; segments, bluntish, 9 to 12 

 lines broad, the upper half, as in the type, of a brilliant scarlet, the 

 lower half abruptly orange, with large purplish brown dots ; filaments 

 and style, 1-i to 2 inches long. California, Hartweg. I have seen 

 the original specimen in Lindley's herbarium, now at Cambridge. 



Var. 2, 1'aUid'i 'folium, Baker. Puberulum, hort., Leichtlin, non 

 Torrey. Taller, in our gardens the stem being 4 or 5 feet high, 

 green and smooth ; leaves, 50 to 80 in number, oblanceolate, smooth, 

 pale green, firmer than those of Pardalinum 9 distinctly five to seven, 

 nerved, the upper ones usually in regular whorls, the lower ones 

 scattered at the base, at the time of flowering; flowers, if more 

 numerous, in a loose raceme or umbel ; pedicels, elongated, nodding 

 at the top ; perianth, 2 to 2| inches long ; segments, more acute, 5 

 or 6 lines broad in the middle, deeply reflexed below the middle, of 

 a paler red on the inner surface than in Pardalinum, and more tinged 

 with yellow at the base, with fewer and smaller dots ; stamens, shorter 

 than the perianth by nearly one- third. California, hort., Leichtlin. 



Var. 3, Bourc/cei, Baker, differs from Pallidifolium, in the few 

 specimens I have seen, by having narrower leaves all arranged in 

 regular whorls, and distinctly three to five nerved, the veins on the 

 lower part of the inner surface ciliated, and the dots more numerous 

 and larger, after the manner of Pardalinum,. Banks of Lake 

 Winipeg, Borgeau. Very recently introduced into English gardens^ 



This is an extremely variable form, ued doubtless to locality as well as habit, see 

 pages 24 and 25. We recognise, in the main, 3 forms. 



1. Puberulum, the pale tinted small spotted form, with short bhint frequent foliage, 

 crowded at base, whorled above. 



2. Pardalinum, the medium tinted form, with large spots and reddish tips, with 

 long narrow pointed dark foliage. 



3. Californicum, the richest tinted and finest form, with large spots, and scarlet 

 tipped perianth, foliage similar to that of Pardalinum. 



But as to foliage, there is great individual variation in all three forms. 



4. There is also another lorm described by Dr. Moore as " var. liobinsonianum," which 

 is simply a larger growing form, varying slightly. " In all the plants we have seen 

 cultivated under this name, the pale green stems, and alternate lanceolate leaves, have- 

 been well marked features, while in the colour of the flowers, the tint of sanguineous red 

 pervading the upper half of the perianth segment is deeper, and the ocellate spots (dark 

 spots on yellow ground within the red portion) are more distinct." Dr. Moore, in. 

 "Florist," Oct., 1875. For a good plate of ffumboldtii, Californicum, and Pardalinum^ 

 see that number.
