No. 358. 
LILIUM PUMILUM. 
Class, Order, 
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
We received this beautiful vint from 
our friend Mr. Busch, at St. Petersbugh, 
who sent it us, as being a different plant 
from the pomponium, which it unquestion- 
ablyis. The leaves are particularly slender, 
and the plant with us, did not much exceed 
one foot in height. The flowers are few in 
number, and wholly without spots: they 
last a considerable time, usually about the 
month of June. Being a native of Russia, 
it is perfectly hardy, and may either be kept 
in a pot (which we prefer) or planted in a 
border. Like the other Liliums, it may be 
increased by offsets, and also by the grains 
or cloves of the bulb, a few of which may 
be separated from it in the autumn without 
injury.
