petalis: branched Hemerocallis, with Flowers of 
one Petal. The Divifion into Segments ‘is. deep; 
but the Name is accurate and juft.

lies; compofed of numerous, oblong, tuberous 
Parts, with many Fibres. The Colour is yel- 
lowifh, and the Tafte fweetith. 
The Leaves are long, hollowed;

pale yet agreeable green.
