characteristics of L. canadense, and that if the latter 

 were grown in Oregon it would assume the form of L. 

 lucidum. 



L. macrophyllum.-— A species too little known to 

 warrant a description, or to be recommended for culti- 

 vation. It is found in Cashmere. Said to be very beau- 

 tiful and fragrant. 



L. Mad. Von. Siebold. — See L. longiflorum (215). 



Lr. maritimum. — See X. canadense, Page 201. 



L. marmoratum. — See L. elegans, Page 209. 



L. Martagon (The Turk's Cap Lily).— This old 

 inhabitant of the garden is a plant we could do very well 

 without. The type has no real beauty. It grows about 

 three feet high, bearing numerous flowers of pleasing 

 shape, but of a dull, lifeless color. See Page 176. 



Var. album. — A beautiful flower, pure white, 

 small, but very graceful. See Page 176. 



Var. dalmaticum.— The grandest of the group, 

 and having but few superiors in the genus. Under 

 favorable circumstances it will grow six feet high, and 

 yield an enormous number of beautifully reflexed flowers, 

 of a shining blackish-purple. The home of all the 

 Turk's Cap Lilies is in England. At Wares' nursery, 

 Tottenham, we saw these Lilies growing so grandly that 

 we scarcely recognized them, and supposed them to be 

 new varieties. Our summers' sun and winters' cold do 

 not agree with these forms, and to have them approach 

 perfection they need a heavy mulching in winter, and a 

 light one, with partial shade, in summer. 



Var. Cattaneee. — A synonym of Dalmaticum. 



Var. hirsutum. — This is a strong growing form 

 with hairy stems. 



Var. glabrum. — A synonym of Martagon album. 



L. Maurii. — A variety of L. elegans. Page 209. 



L. Maximowiczii. — A synonym of L. pseudo- 

 tig rinum, Page 221.
