LILIBS THAT ABB NOT LILIES 



Thb name lily has always been used very 

 loosely in all garden talk that is not in Latin. 

 So it has come about that there are many so^ 

 called lilies which are not lilies at aU, in the 

 true sense ; some of them are not even liliaceous, 

 but belong to genera quite distinct botanically. 

 A number of these are here grouped for easy 

 reference. 



African — Agapanthus umbellatus. 



African corn — Ixia. 



Amazonian — Eucharis amasonica. 



Arum — Bichardia africana. 



Arum, golden — Bichardia ElUottiana.

Avalanche — Erythronium citrinum. 



Barbadoes spice — Amaryllis equestre.
