short. This sub-genus includes tigrinmn, auratum, 

 speciosuniy and perhaps the 

 newer Henryi. 



Sub-genus IV. is called 

 Isolirion. 



In this sub - genus the 

 flower is an open cup of 

 orange, or reddish-orange 

 colouring carried upright, 

 such as the Orange Lily {L. 

 croceuiii). 



Sub-genus V. is called 

 Martagon. 



These are Lilies of more or less turn-cap or turk's- 

 cap shape ; L. canadense, which is bell-shaped, being 

 the most notable exception. 

 About half of them have 

 the leaves in whorls. The 

 purple Martagon and the 

 scarlet chalcedonicuin are 

 the commonest represen- 

 tatives among garden 

 Lilies. 



Sub-genus VI. is called 

 Notholirion. 



This sub-genus is not 

 here considered, as it is a 

 link with the Fritillaries. 



L, MARTAGON. 



and the only two species it contains are difficult and 

 by no means indispensable garden flowers.
