This plant was first namedL. monadelphum by Bieberstein in his account of the CaucasianFlora, and I am inclined to adhere to Biebersteins name inpreference to that of L. Szovitzianura. The soil in which it is generally grown here is sandy loam,manured only during the operation of re-planting. Althouha large collection of Lilies is cultivated here, none requires lessattention than the one under notice, which, when seen in bloomin large numbers, is really a gorgeous sight.
