But it is not a wilding here, and is but rarely met with as an escape from the garden. It is a native of the interesting country called the Levant, and as the Levant includes Palestine, it is by no means imjiroper to consider this as the " lily of the field " referred to by our Ijord in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew vi. 2S). If, however, we seek for a distinct flower as tlie lily of the Holy Land, we must take note of Canticles vi. '1, where the lily is.
