23. Columbianum, Hort. (L. Si'lyi, Nutt. L. parvi- 

 fldrum, Holz.). Bulb perennial, ovoid, .small: stem 

 iyi-3 ft. high, slender; lvs. few, mostly in whorls of 

 4 or 5, the upper ones frequently scattered, oblanceo- 

 late, acute: lis. 2-3 or more, umhellate, on slender nod- 

 ding pedicels; perianth l%-2 in. long, bright orange, 

 thickly spotted with small purplish dots; segments 

 lanceolate, rettexed. Ore., Wash. El. 31. F.M. 1874:130, 

 as L. parviflorum. (not characteristic). — Not uncom- 

 mon in garden collections, where it succeeds as well as 

 any of the Pacific coast species. It is so slender of 

 stem, sparse of foliage and small of flower, as grown in 

 eastern gardens, that it does not give any mass effect. 

 It looks best mixed in the border with hardy perennials. 



24. pubfiralmn, Duchr. {L. CaUf6rnicum-, Hort., not 

 Domb. //.iri<)>i5oid(ii,Roez.&Leicht. L. Bloomeri&num, 

 KelL). Fig.l2S.5. Bulb large, thick: stem 3-5 ft. high : lvs. 

 in 4-6 large whorls of 10-15 lvs. each: fls. 6-10 or more, 

 in a large panicle, on nodding, divaricate pedicels, 

 bright orange-red, thickly marked with dark spots; 

 segments strongly reflexed. Calif. El. 32. F. 8.19:1973. 

 Gn. 20:314 and p. 568. — A noble, dignified, commanding 

 plant, and one which ought to be cult, oftener. Rather 

 formal in appearance. 



25. Mirtagon, Linn. {L. Dalmdticum, Vis.). Turk's 

 Cap Lily. Fig. 1280. Bulb perennial, ovoid: stem 

 23^-5 ft. high : lvs. in 2-4 whorls of 0-9 each, sometimes 

 a few scattered, sessile, with 7-11 nerves: fls. 3-20, in a 

 long, loose, bracteato raceme, nodding, fragrant, vary- 

 ing in color from purple to dirty white, spotted or un- 

 spotted; segments lanceolate, strongly revolute. El. 33. 

 Gn. 23:371; 38, p. 393; 44:927 (as L. Dalhansoni). 

 B.M. 872 and 1634. F.M. 1874:1.30. F.S. 20:2127 (as 

 Martagon Dalmaticum) . —M\iiA cult, in Europe, less in 

 America. It has many horticultural varieties, but the 

 only one in our catalogues is Album. The plant is vig- 

 orous, upright and thrifty, with good foliage, but the 

 fls. are small, dull-colored and not showy, as compared 

 with our more popular kinds. 



26. maculitum, Thunb. {L. Hdnsoni, Leicht.). Fig. 

 1287. Bulb perennial, globose, compact: stem 3-4 ft. 

 high: lvs. oblanceolate, acute, frequently in a single 

 whorl of 8-12, or some scattered, sometimes several 

 whorls; fls. 4-32, in a loose raceme, on erect, spreading 

 pedicels, bright orange, conspicuously spotted with pur- 

 ple on the lower half. Japan. El. 34. B.M. 0120 (good). 

 Gn. 29, p. 287. E.H. 1883, p. 290. -One of the thriftiest 



and hardiest species known. It is a trifle high-priced 

 for general planting, but is worthy a place in every gar- 

 den. It is one of the most formal and dignified of 

 Lilies. 



27. Bup^rbum, Linn. American Tprk'.s Cap Lii.v. 

 Fig. 1288. Bullj large, globose: stem 3-0 ft., tall, erect: 

 lvs. often in whorls, sometimes more or less scattered, 

 3-5-nerved : fls. 6-12, or even more, paniculate, bright 

 reddish orange, conspicuously spotted ; perianth seg- 

 ments lanceolate, acute. Canada to Georgia and west to 

 the Mississippi river. EI. 26. B.M. 936 ( good). L.B.C. 

 4:335 (as L. autumnale). Gn. 30, p. 8 (fine); 30:351 

 (flue); 38:781. Mn. 8:1 (fine). -Frequently cult. Useful 

 in borders, 



Var. Caroliniinum, Chapm. (L. Carolinidnum, 

 Michx.}. Smaller, more slender, with fewer fls. and 

 broader lvs. A southern variety, in dry woods, Va. to 

 Fla.,and west to La. 



28. pardalinum, Kellogg (L. Califurnicum., Domb.). 

 Fig. 1289. Bulb shtu-t, rhizoniatous: stem 2-3 ft. high: 

 lvs. mostly near the middle of the stem, in 3-4 whorls 

 of 9-12 lvs. each, with a few scattered; fls. 3-10, loose 

 corymbose, on long, nodding pedicels, bright red with 

 orange toward the center, strikingly marked with large 

 purplish brown spots; perianth segments strongly revo- 

 lute, somewhat papillose. Calif. El. 28 and 29. F.M. 

 1872:33 (asi. mishingtonidnum). Gn. 20:312 and p. 520. 

 — A magnificent garden flower, not commonly grown, 

 though adapted to general cult. Var. angustifolium, 

 Kellogg, has narrow, scattered lvs. Var. "Warei, Hort., 

 has yellow fls. Gn. 29:547. 



29. monadelphum, Bieb. (L. Szovilzidmnn, Flsch. & 

 Lall. L. Colehleum, Hort.). Bulb perennial, ovoid: 

 .stem 2-5 ft. high: lvs. 30-50, scattei-ed, linear-lanceolate

 rower linear lvs. Caucasus.
