LEONTICE CHRYSOGONUM. 
This genus, which bears the name of Lion’s Leaf, belongs to the BorberidaocEe, and consists of a 
few curious perennial species, rarely met with in cultivation. That now offered, found in Greece 
and Asia Minor, and also in the Caucasus, has received the name of Songardia Jtaim'olfii. It forms 
a rough roundish tuber, 1 to 2 inches across, from the top of which spring three or four narrow 
leaves, which are pinnately divided into several sets of segments, arranged in throes aud fours in 
a semi-verticillate manner, the individual segments being cuneate, toothed at the apex, and marked 
near the base with a transverse purple band. The flower scape is 6 or 8 inches high, somewhat 
corymbose, bearing golden yellow blossoms about an inch across. The plant should bo grown in a 
cold frame, or as it vegetates early and rests during the autumn a cool greenhouse is even prefer- 
able, though Miller relates that with well-established plants, in sheltered positions and favourable 
seasons, ho has succeeded in keeping it through the winter unprotected. 3s. 3d. 
LIGUSTRUM CORIACEUM.

LILIUM AURATUM. 
In consequence of a large importation of the lovely and fragrant Japanese Lily, LiKum auraium, 
• it is now offered at the undermentioned extremely low prices. The golden-rayed Japanese Lily, the 
queen of this wondrous race, is now known in every garden where plants of value and beauty are 
regarded with admiration. Is. 3d., 2s. 3d., and 3s. 3d. 
LILIUM AURATUM. 
(VARIETIES.) 
Mr. William Bull has flowered several thousands of Lilium aumtiim, and among them a 'few of 
extraordinary beauty have been found. These may be relied upon as being extremely fine ; indeed, 
only such as are of especial merit and very distinct have been selected. Nothing would bo easier 
than to multiply varieties of this Lily ad infinitum, for it is well known that, however great the general 
resemblance, scarcely two produce flowers exactly alike j but although varying one from the other, 
the difference is generally not sufficient to warrant any other than the original name being given. 
The striking beauty, however, of the following justly entitle them to that distinction ; — 
AMABILE, a fine flower with a very wide golden bar, all the petals thickly spotted and streaked 
with rich crimson ; a most beautiful variety. 7s. 3d. 
ATTRACTION, this variety has a remarkably deep golden band, whieh renders it extremely 
distinct and attractive ; the petals are all richly spotted. 7s. 3d. 
BEAUTY, a splendid variety with a rich golden yellow bar in the centre of each petal, the whole 
of the flower being thickly and largely spotted with rich bright claret colour. 15.r. 
BRILLIANT, the petals of this variety are thickly studded with large spots of a bright rosy 
crimson colour, are very wide, aud have a rich golden band in the centre ; a very showy flower. 
7s. 3d. 
DIAUEH, this is a very distinet flower, the petals, which have a deep golden band, being only- 
very slightly dotted with small crimson spots. 7s. 3d. 
MATCHLESS, a beautiful flower; the petals have a bright yellow bar, and are thioklyand strongly 
marked with spots and streaks of rich magenta crimson. 10«. 6d. 
MAXIMUM, a large and very fine variety, selected from many thousands of L. auratum. 7s. 3d. 
OCHROLEUCUM, a very distinct variety, the whole of the flower being thickly studded with 
deep yellow spots, and the petals banded with pure gold colour. 3U. 3d. 
PICTUM, a splendid flower, with a beautiful golden bar, bordered with crimson, and very thickly 
covered with rich crimson spots ; a very fine and attractive variety. 10,?. 3d. 
RUBRO-VITTATUM. This is a magnificent variety, its great distinctive feature being that the 
bands, instead of being yellow, as in the ordinary variety of Auratum, are red, and oonsequently 
very fascinating and attractive ; the spots are also very large, and of a bright crimson colour. 
31.?.6(/. 
SPLENDOUR. This is a very pretty flower ; the petals are banded with clear greenish yellow, 
and are very thickly sprinkled with large spots of rich dark crimson. 7s. 3d.
