REFERENCE TO THE PLATE. 

 1. Chives and pointal. 



The Lilium concolor was first raised in the conservatory of the late Sir Charles Greville at Paddington 

 in 1806, and still continues to be one of the rarest of this showy genus. Our figure was made frono a 

 plant in the nursery of Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, late in the autumn of 1813. Of what country it is a 

 native is not positively known, but it is supposed to be of Chinese origin.
