 The Callous Lily (L. Callosum). 



After having handled several hundred bulbs of this Lily, we can hardly agree with. 

 the description above given of the bulb. For a more correct representation, see page 107,. 

 where a round bulb is given. If the elongated figure (?) in the annexed woodcut i 

 intended to represent the bulb, it is utterly unlike those we have seen, and the fact that 

 it is an article of food in Japan, points out that the bulb must be of a respectable size- 

 No other Lily has the blunted thickened bracts, peculiar to this form, and shown in the 

 woodcut, hence the name.
