Tis rare and interesting plant was ing ago proposed as a 
distinct genus by the late Mr. Rafinesque. It is allied both to 
Fritillaria and to Lilium. It differs from both in the want of 
nectaries. Unfortunately the fruit is not known, so that it can-

Feather River, California; fot the style, though thickened at the 
summit, is undivided, and the nectary is wanting: but there are 
several flowers in a loose racemose panicle.
