this fine G. into our Flora, by noti- 
cing four N. Sp. of its but Pursh

united to Lilium or Lily.

Kentucky in 1821. Stem one foot

Uniflore one leaved, radical leaves

in the Alleghany mountains. Over 
a foot high, flower as large as the 
garden tulip. 
4. Tulipa pudica (Ambliri-

dicum Pursh. Stem uniflore curved 
above, leaves lanceolate linear acute, 
flower pendulous petals obovate 
spatulate very obtuse, yellow.LEvi- 
dently a tulip by the habit and lack-
