LILIUM TIGRINUM (90) BRODIÆA BRIDGESI (91)
[Pyrenaicum] is closely related to pomponium, but is somewhat taller, and has bright-yellow flowers, blotched with crimson at the base (see [Plate 18], fig. 71).
[Rubellum], a beautiful species about 2 feet high, with bell-shaped rosy-pink flowers in June (see [Plate 26], fig. 97).
[Testaceum] (or excelsum), a fine Lily, 5 to 6 feet high, with somewhat drooping, soft, buff-yellow or apricot-coloured flowers, dotted with orange-red.
[Umbellatum.] A number of Lilies are grouped under this name, being apparently hybrid varieties between croceum, davuricum, and elegans. The prevailing colours are orange, orange-red, and apricot, with darkly-spotted and unspotted forms.
[Washingtonianum] grows 3 to 6 feet high, and has sweet-scented, drooping, funnel-shaped flowers of a pure white tinged with lilac or purple. The soil should be particularly well-drained for this Californian Lily.
II. Lilies that flourish in sandy loam, peat, and leaf-soil.
[Auratum], a well-known Lily, 2 to 6 feet high, with ivory-white flowers, often 9 to 12 inches across, with a conspicuous yellow band down the centre, and deep purple blotches all over the inner surface. There are several varieties, some poor, some excellent, amongst the latter being platyphyllum with very large heavily-spotted flowers. There is a white unspotted form of this called virginale, closely related to which is Wittei, the flowers of which, however, are stained with yellow down the centre.
[Browni], 2 to 4 feet high, with bell-shaped flowers, pure white with a central purple line.
