510 Liltacce—Lilium. 
Flowers bright scarlet. or yellow, not spoited. A very hardy 
species, native of the South of Europe, and long in cultivation. 
; 16. L. Pyreniricum, L. flivwn. 
—This species is very near the last 
and L. Pomponiuwm, differing from 
the latter in its broader distinctly 
3-nerved leaves less revolute at the 
margin, and from the former in its 
bright yellow spotted flowers. A 
native of the Pyrenees. 
LL. callésum is remarkable for its 
indurated hood-shaped bracts. The 
leaves are few and distant, and the 
flowers bright scarlet with reflexed 
seoments. Japan. 
17. L. testaceum, syn. L. excél- 
sum, DL. Isabellinum.—This is a 
distinct plant with a slender stem 
5 to 6 feet high, and crowded as- 
cending linear 3- to 5-nerved leaves 
ciliate on the margin and nerves 
beneath, the lower ones 3 to 4 inches 
long. Flowers 1 to 6 or more, on 
long pedicels in a thyrsoid raceme, 
nankeen yellow tinged with red. 
Perianth-segments 24 to 3 inches 
long, 8 to 12 lines broad, united 
at the base, strongly reflexed and 
slightly papillose within. This is 
reported to be of hybrid origin be- 
tween DL. céndidum and L. Chalee- 
dénicum, but nothing certain is 
known of its origin. 
Fig. 250. Lilium Chaleedonicuin. 18. L. Leichtlinir—Stem rather 
(oat isize.) slender, rising to a height of 2 or 3 
feet, and rather loosely clothed with small linear slightly 
puberulous 3-nerved leaves. Flowers usually solitary or two 
together, bright yellow spotted with purplish red. Perianth- 
segments lanceolate, 2} to 3 inches long, recurved from the base, 
hairy inside towards the base. This plant came up in a bed of 
LL. auratum at Messrs. Veitch’s, and it is not known whether 
it be a wild Japanese species or of hybrid origin.
