Of the Archelirion section, L. Auratum and L. Speciosum have much in common. But L. Tigrinum has but little relation to the former two lilies; its drooping flowers strongly suggest that this lily should be placed with the Martagons.
L. Leichtlini and Pseudo-Tigrinum are placed among the Martagons; yet these two lilies bear a very strong resemblance to L. Tigrinum.
L. Oxypetalum differs from all other lilies in many respects. It resembles the fritillaries in most points and was formerly included with those plants.
As regards the Isolirion group, in which the flowers are erect, we would place L. Medeoloides with the Martagons, next to L. Hansoni—the plant which it most resembles.
L. Umbellatum. (Showing abnormal development of aerial bulblets.)
L. Concolor and its varieties should form a group of themselves.
L. Batmanniae[6] and L. Wallacei should certainly be included with the Isolirions, and not with the Martagons.
