Eremurus (Greek name, probably referring to their tall and striking aspect in solitary and desert places). Liliaceae. These hardy desert plants, when in flower with their great flower-stalks taller than a man and crowned with a spike of flowers from 1 to 4 feet long, are amongst the most striking objects in the choicer gardens of the North and East.

During recent years many beautiful hybrid plants have been intro. into cult., often under some specific name which gives no indication of the parentage. Of these the following arc known and the parents are indicated when possible.—E. isabellinus, Vilm. A hybrid between E. Bungei and E. Olgae. Fls. large, apricot-rose.—E. Michelianus . Hort., is supposed to be a hybrid between E. Warei and E. Bungei. G.C. III. 40:83, desc.—E. Tubergenii, Hon. A hybrid, crossed in Holland between E. himalaicus and E. Bungei. —B. vedrariensis, Hort.=E. robustus X E. spectabilis? R.H. 1907, p. 229.—E. II ... , Hort., is supposed to be a natural Eastern Asiatic hybrid between E. Bungei and E. Olgae. It is described as growing in ordinary seasons about 8 ft. high. The fls. are less bright than in E. Bungei, and in rootstock it resembles the later-flowering E. Olgae. Gn. W. 22: suppl. May 27.
