St. Bruno's lily and St. Bernard's lily are advertised in catalogues of hardy herbaceous plants as Anthericum Liliastrum and Anthericum Liliago, but the former should be called Paradisea Liliastrum; the latter is St. Bernard's lily. Both have white fls., borne in early summer on scapes a foot or more high. The fls. of both are tipped green outside. The lvs. are linear, all radical, and a foot or so long. Both plants are natives of Cent. Eu., and by their popular names recall the life- saving monks of the Alps. It is no wonder, then, that they are often confused, although they belong to different subtribes. The Paradisea has larger fls., which are funnel-shaped rather than rotate, but the fundamental differences upon which Paradisea is made a separate genus lie in the stamens. In Paradisea (according to Bentham & Hooker) the anthers are attached at the middle of the back and are versatile; in Anthericum the anthers are attached at their base and are erect ; moreover, the stamens of Paradisea are hypogy-nous; of Anthericum, perigynous. Following are some of the other 'differences as given by Baker in Journ. Linn. Soc. 15:286, 287, 301 (1877):
