One of the rarest species of this gaudy genus, and as far as I know in no other collection 
yet than the Right Hone Charles Greville’s, who does not know from whence 
received it. From the short style, it was sup osed to be the L. Camschatcense L. but that 
seeds in the germen of those I dissected: a very faithful representation of it is given by Mr. 
Hooker. ‘The tallest of the four plants which flowered was only a foot high. Stem slender, 
tinged with dark purple, slightly pubescent. Leaves deep green, paler underneath, cag 
in roots that did-not flower very narrow and petiolated, the others sessile and towards the a of 
the stem somewhat verticillate, linear-lanceolate, very finely serrated, obtuse, smooth net - 
litfle striated: Nerves very slender. Flowers from 1 to 3, in a short corymbose spike. 
Pedicels about 2 inches long, not differing in structure from the stem, sa patlas —* —. 
Petals of a deep scarlet colour, somewhat yellower at the base but without any ga Bevo 1 : 
into broad yet evident claws as in the L. Phéladelphicum to which species this ory 
allied, recurved-spreading, lanceolate, very obtuse and glandulous at the top, almost equ Ben 
breadth. Filaments scarlet with their base of a deep orange colour. Anthers seatlet, large 
incumbent. Pollen scarlet. [have not yet had an opportunity of seeing the root.
