The Tigrinum varieties cultivated in the conservatory are princely plants. Sinense is the oldest and best 
known ; Japonicum is a little taller, and flowers about a week later ; Erect urn is a perfectly distinct species, the 
flowers are erect, and the segments roll back, thus showing the centre of the flower, it is in bloom with Sinense ; 
Fortunei is characterised by its extremely woolly stems, and it flowers from a week to ten days after Japonicum ; 
Fortunei flore pleno has magnificent double flowers ; and Splendens is distinguished by its dark polished stem and 
noble aspect ; it is also later than Fortunei, and more floriferous. Jucundum, Maximowiczii, or Lishmanni ; 
whether these three names represent one plant or three plants has not yet been decided, but it is believed there is but 
one plant to represent the three names. It is a distinct beautiful species without bulb lets in axils. Pseudo- 
tigrinum is another very distinct plant in this group ; the leaves are very narrow, and the stem somewhat pubescent ; 
the flowers fine cinnabar-red , covered with small crimson spots , resembling in this respect J ucundum, but flowering 
three weeks earlier. each— 8. d.

A DOUBTFUL LILY. 
Botanists have not yet decided whether the following is a Lily or a Frilillaria. Whatever the ultimate 
verdict may be, it will not detract from the decided beauty of the plant, which throws up a long spike of rich rose- 
purple flowers.
