" Its very large flowers [perianths], with their segments bent 

 back almost [from] their base, distinguish this, at first sight, from 

 the other American species : " they are stated, too, to be more 

 intensely yellow. Mr. Douglas supplied it, eight or nine years 

 ago, from North- West America, to the London Horticultural 

 Society. They received a single bulb of it, which has continued 

 to grow slowly in a peat border. " It will probably be many 

 years before it can possibly be distributed," 



E. gigantfeum Lindl. 



" Beautiful as " E. grandiflorum P/?. is, it " cannot be com- 

 pared with" E. giganteum Lindl., " from the same country, 

 which we possess from Mr. Douglas ; and which is most remark- 

 able for having an irregularly branched scape " of five flowers. 

 The segments of the perianth are acuminate and reflexed from 

 the middle. {Bot. Beg., Sept.)
