THE Lilium concolor was first raised in the conservatqiy of the late Sir Charles Greville at Paddington
in 1806, and still continues to be one of the rarest of this showy genus. Our figure was inade from a
plant in the nursery of Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, late in the autumn of 1813. Of what country it is a
native is not positively known, but it is supposed to be of Chinese origin.
