A much smaller plant than L. Thomtonianvm, with the bulb 1^ in. long, the 

 stem 1-2 ft., and the flowers varying from rose pink to pale lilac ; but Wallich was 

 probably right in thinking them varieties of one. Notholirion was taken up as a 

 genus by Boissier and rightly attributed by him to Wallich, whose mention of it as a 

 genus (not a section) was overlooked In Gen. Plant. Don's F. macrophylla, from 

 Nepal, Wallich, with 3-4 flowers and a trifid stigma, must be meant for this plant, 

 though he describes the flowers as yellow.
