LILY FAMILY, Liliaceae. 
A magnificent plant, from three to six 
: d Lil : : in i 
a eRe feet tall, with bright-green leaves, thin in 
Lilium 
pardalinum texture, smooth but not shiny, and mostly 
Orange in whorls. The stem is crowned by a 
Summer 
splendid cluster of flowers, usually about 
half a dozen together, but sometimes as 
many as thirty on one stalk. They measure three or 
four inches across and are pale-orange outside and deep- 
orange inside, spotted with maroon, often blotched with 
orange-yellow in the throat and tipped with scarlet. The 
anthers are purplish, changing to reddish-brown, and the 
pistil is bright-green. These plants often grow in large 
companies, in moist spots in the mountains, and are un- 
rivaled in decorative beauty and brilliancy of coloring. 
Wash., Oreg., Cal. 
Tiger Lily A good deal like the last, but not so 
Lilium large. The petals are more turned back 
Columbianum and they are orange-color all over, dotted 
ge eae with dark-red, and the anthers are pale 
Wash., Oreg. orange-color, ripening to golden-brown. 
This is common in the Hood River Valley. 
Sabie A glorious plant, from two to five 
Chaparral Lily feet tall, with leaves mostly in whorls, 
Lilium rubéscens With rippled edges. The stem bears a 
White, pink magnificent cluster of blossoms, most 
Severs wonderful in coloring, for the buds and 
Cal., Oreg. : : 
young flowers are white, dotted with 
purple inside, with yellow anthers and a pale-green pistil, 
but they gradually change to pink, and deepen to ruby- 
purple as they fade, and the anthers and pistil also darken 
in color. The effect of the whole cluster is therefore white 
at the top, shading through pink to almost crimson below. 
The flowers are even more deliciously fragrant than the 
Washington Lily, which they resemble, except that they 
are not quite so large as the latter and stand more erect 
and the petals are not so spreading. This usually grows 
among chaparral in the Coast Ranges.
