Lilium speciosum, Thunb. Showy Lily. Often erroneously called L. lancifolium, a synonym of L. elegans. Bulb globular, 3-4 in. diam., reddish purple or brownish, rarely yellow or orange; scales broad and thick: st. 2-4 ft. high, smooth, green, often tinged and dotted purple: leaves 12-25 or more, horizontal, 3-6 in. long, 1/2 - 1 1/2 in. wide: flowers 1-10, 4-6 in. diam., delicately fragrant, with segms. often reflexed to the st.; they are white, suffused rose-pink in the center and spotted blood-red, with a green stripe at the base; anthers red. Late Aug., Sept. Japan. —One of the most beautiful and satisfactory of all lilies, robust, permanent, easily grown and highly recommended for both pots and open ground. Vars. roseum, Hort., and rubrum, Hort., often catalogued as distinct, are really very similar to the type, but the flowers of the latter are rather deeper in color. Var. Kaempferi, Hort., var. purpuratum, Hort., and var. Schrymakersi, Hort., are all similar to var. rubrum. Var. macranthum and var. multiflorum, Hort., are also similar, but are of larger, stronger growth and more free-flowering. Var. Melpomene, Hort., is of somewhat different habit of growth than the type and has much deeper-colored flowers which are of a rich carmine-crimson, spotted blood-red and narrowly edged white. Var. magnificum, Hort., is closely allied to var. Melpomene, but is larger in every way, of stronger growth and comes into bloom a little earlier. Var. cruentum, Hort., is a dwarfer form of var. Melpomene, flowering two weeks later. Var. gloriosoides, Baker, differs from the type in its narrower leaves, much twisted gloriosa-like segms. and scarlet spots. Var. album, Hort. (var. albiflorum, Hook.), has deep brown bulbs, brown-tinged sts. and buds and unspotted white flowers slightly suffused pink; anthers reddish brown. Var. album novum, Hort., has pure white flowers with yellow anthers. Var. Kraetzeri, Duch., often sold as var. album, is quite distinct, differing in its yellow bulbs, entirely green st., more pointed, brighter green leaves and green-tinged buds; the flowers are pure white with a pale green stripe halfway down the center of each segm. and reddish brown anthers. Var. vestale, Hort., is similar. Var. punctatum, Lem., has yellow bulbs, entirely green sts. and white or pale blush flowers spotted rosy crimson. It is of more delicate constitution than the other varieties. Var. praecox, Hort., is similar, if not identical. There are also several other horticultural forms, but they are not sufficiently distinct to be recognized.
