under similar circumstancesin Marden Park near Godstone,
and in a wide hedge-row between Headley and Juniper
Hall, under Box Hill.
Bulb scaly, yellow. Stem about 3 feet high, slightly
pubescent, terminating in a loose, wide-set panicle. Leaves
ovato-lanceolate, the upper ones almost linear; in very regular,
distant whorls. Petals, elegantly recurved, bright
purple with darker spots, under cultivation sometimes

The bulbs of this and other species of Lily are cultivated
in some parts of the Continent as the potato is with us, and
furnish a nutritious and agreeable article of vegetable diet.
