358 Green . — Note on Anomalous Bulbils in a Lily* 
upper axils occurring along with the flowers. The outermost 1-3 leaves 
of all the bulbils were normal bulbil scales. The lower bulbils had inside 
these some pale, slightly sepal-like leaves, but no stamens, whereas the 
upper ones had, in addition to sepal-like leaves, thin and broadened perianth 
leaves with the fiery red colour of Liliuni bulbiferum , and from one to four 
stamens. Some of the stamens were like a bulb-scale at the base, with 
a filament and anther above, whilst others were normal. 
My thanks are due to Mr. W. C. Worsdell for valuable help and 
suggestions during the preparation of this note. 
Summary. 
An account is given of anomalous bulbils taken from the stem of 
Lilium Fortunei giganteum. These bulbils exhibit various degrees of tran- 
sition between the bulbil scale and the perianth leaf, and also between the 
bulbil scale and the stamen. Reasons are given for considering the bulbils 
as homologous with flowers, and two other cases are cited comparable to 
the one dealt with.
