In low copses and swamps, on blue clay soil : Canada to 
Virginia. 1/. July, Aug. v. v. The most stately 
plant of this family in North America ; the number 
and elegance of its flowers are astonishing. I have, in 
favourable situations, seen stems of about seven feet 
high, with from thirty to fifty flowers, disposed in a 
graceful manner in form of a chandelier.

In the tenth volume of the Linnean Transactions, A. B. 
Lambert, Esq. in his account of the Pallasian Herba- 
rium, has given an excellent figure of this plant, and 
suspects it very justly to be a Fritiilaria : when 1 ex- 
amined the Lewisian Herbarium I had no idea of 
finding it under Lilium, and made a drawing and de- 
scription under the above name, for the Travels of 
Lewis and Clark.
