The varieties we offer under Davuricum are the most distinct and beautiful of those usually sold under the 
names Umbellatum, fulgens, maculatum, immaculatum, fulgidum, hybridum, punctatum, bicolor, andcruentum. 
In clearing up the nomenclature of the Lily, we found these names so indiscriminately used as specific names, 
that we did not think it advisable to retain them.

The varieties enumerated as Thunbergianum (syn. Elegans) represent the most distinct and beautiful of what 
are usually sold under the erroneous names Atrosanguineum, sanguinolentum, coronatnm, pictum, aurantiacum, 
multiflorum , variegatum, biligulatum, aureum maculatum, venustum, aureum, Kikak, Aemi-G a jo, Sy-yets, 
Ideno-Sato , Ogontio, citrinum, citjinum maculatum. We have found all these names so indiscriminately used

EULIRION GROUP. 
In this Group the flowers are funnel or trumpet-shaped, and horizontal or slightly drooping ; they 
represent pre-eminently the Lily of Sentiment. Candidum, the favourite White Lily, is European ; Washing- 
Conianum, American ; Cordifolium, Longiflorum, and Japonicum, from Japan ; Cordifolium giganteum, 
Neilgherrense, Nepalense, and Wallichianum from India. They are hardy, but it would be advisable in 
winter to give the protection of litter or leaves to Longiflorum, Cordifolium, and Japonicum. Neilgherrense, 
Nepalense, and Wallichianum, are not well suited for out door culture, and are better grown under glass. 
Washingtonianum comes from a very high elevation, where the summer is short and hot, and the winter severe . 
its treatment must, therefore, be exceptional. The soil must be well drained, and ot a naturally dry character, 
and when the plants have done blooming, they should have the protection of a hand light fora few months. The 
species in this group are all fragrant and exceptionally beautiful. Cordifolium giganteum is the most noble 
Lily in cultivation ; Japonicum Krameri is the most refined of all Lilies, while Neilgherrense is the grandest of 
the Longiflorum group. These Lilies commence flowering out of doors in J uly and continue into September. If 
cultivated in the conservatory they can be had in bloom earlier if required. each— s.
