spotted with black, and with numerous papillae of a lighter 
shade of colour than the petals. The plant itself is slender in

one foot or eighteen inches: it will succeed in a light and rich 
soil, such as other Japanese Lilies delight in.

William Hooker or Dr. Lindley; but we believe it is his inten¬ 
tion to do so immediately.
