C X C II.)
Hab. N. W. America. Waters of the Koos-koosky. M. Lewis. Common on the springy banks of the
Spokan River, near its confluence with the Columbia. Douglas.—This is the most distinct of all the species,
remarkable for its cordate, not rhomboidal leaves, and the great length of the petioles. In the structure ;of
the flowers it comes nearest to T. sessile; but the sepals are nearly as long as the petals, and more erect.
Petals dark purple.

Hab. Canada. (?) Ph. Columbia; about Fort Vancouver, abundant. Tolmie.—The original plant is
from Kamtschatka, and our Columbia specimens quite agree with them : but I have not seen any Canadian
specimens that can exactly be referred to it. At the same time, I am not sure if this be permanently distinct
from T. grandifiorum.

H a b . N. W. Coast, on the beach. Observatory Inlet, to Stikine Sound, Sitcha, and Unalaschka. Cha-
tnisso. D r Scouler. Tolmie. Bongard.— TSodi in this and the following species there is an evident elongated
depression or nectary near the base of each sepal, the stigma is trifid, and the habit is altogether that
of a Fritillary, rather than of any Lilium. Voyagers to Kamtschatka (where this species seems more abundant
than on the American coast) bring home small white granulated esculent roots, dried on strings; these
are the bitter tubers of this Fritillary, which are also copiously eaten by the Indians of Stikine, and known
by the names of Koch or N. W. Rice ; but Mr Tolmie says they are bitter and nauseous.
