Observation. 
This is a very distinct and noble species, with a tall and slender stem, two (birds 
of which are thickly furnished with long and linear leaves. The flowers are white, 
fragrant, extremely large, with a very long and narrow tube, which is gradually widen¬ 
ing into an ample, spreading limb ; there are generally two or three at the apex of the 
stem ; sometimes only one. In size they exceed those of Lilium giganteum (set? page 
21. tab. 12, 13.) The claws of the three exterior sepals are closely united to those 
within, in consequence of their sharp margins being confined within the deep furrow, 
w bich is formed on each side of the dorsal rib of the latter. The base of the stem 1 have 
repeatedly found horizontal, creeping and scaly like that of a fern, without any remain¬ 
der of a bulb, but marked with a number of vestiges of old stems. 1 forgot to mention 
under the Habitat, that this lily is also found towards Sirinuggur, and that 1 have 
received plenty of fine specimens collected by Mr. Robert Blinkworth.
