3. FOLIUM SUPERBUM L. Sp. PI. Ed. 2, 434. 1762. Turk’s-cap Lily. 
This species closely resembles some forms of Lilium canadense L. 
It differs mainly in having the lanceolate or linear-lanceolate leaves very 
smooth on both surfaces. There are usually many flowers arrayed in a 
large open panicle. 
The species is stated to range from Maine to Ontario and Minnesota, 
south to North Carolina and Tennessee. The flowers appear in July and 
August. The habitat is moist soil in open woods or grassy places. The 
type locality is: ''Habitat in America septentrionali” 
In Iowa the species seems to be rare or at best infrequent. Specimens 
in the writer’s herbarium are from Emmet, Johnson and Montgomery 
counties. The species was reported from Hesper, Winneshiek county, 
Iowa, by Mr. Upham. Professor Hitchcock reported flnding a tew speci- 
mens at Jewel Junction, Hamilton county. Professor Bessey gave the 
following stations: Ames, Story county; Charles City, Floyd county; and 
Burlington, Des Moines county.

4. Lilium tigeinum Andr. Bot. Rep. 9: errata. 1809. 
Bulb globose, solitary, an inch or more in diameter; scales many, 
oppressed, oblong-lanceolate; stem stout, purple or blackish, white-pubes- 
cent above, 2 — 5 feet high, leafy throughout or nearly so; leaves lanceo- 
late, alternate, glabrous or somewhat pubescent, 2 — 6 inches long, one- 
half to nearly one inch in width, the upper axils bearing blackish bulb- 
lets which are made up of three or four scales; flowers few to many, 
orange red, nodding; the segments lanceolate, papillose, recurved, purple- 
spotted. 
This is with us a species frequent in cultivation, but it is occasionally 
to be found as an escape along waysides and in waste places. 
The writer collected specimens of this species in Fremont county, 
Iowa, July 29, 1898, where it was a frequent escape by the waysides. Mr. 
Miller reports the species as a garden escape in Madison county.
