Lilium washingtonianum, Kellogg (L. Bartrami, Nutt.). Bulb semi-rhizomatous, oblique, prolonged laterally to a length of 6-8 in., scales large, broad, loosely arranged, grayish white or pale yellow, sometimes tinged and dotted purple: st. stout, smooth, 3-6 ft. high: leaves horizontal or semi-erect, glaucous-green, 3-4 in. long, 2/3 — 1 in. wide, usually in 6-9 whorls, each containing 5-12 leaves, with a few scattered ones above: flowers in racemes of 2-20, 2 1/2 — 1 in. long, nearly as wide, deliciously fragrant, white, slightly tinged and dotted reddish purple or lilac inside and more heavily suffused purple outside; anthers yellow or orange. Late June, July. Calif., along the Sierra Nevada Mts. and Coast Range. —A beautiful and stately species when well grown, but in the N. E. is rather capricious and often fails to succeed in the open ground. The var. purpureum, or var. purpurascens, Hort.(L. purpureum, Mast.), is of more slender growth and smaller in every way, 2-3 ft. high, with leaves 1-2 in. long, while the flowers are semi-erect and borne in umbels of 4-8; color white, faintly tinged lilac and spotted purple internally when first opened, soon changing to uniform lilac-purple. Var. rubescens, Hort. (L. rubtescens, Wats.), has a smaller, more globular bulb than the typical species, a more slender st. 3-5 ft. high, narrower leaves and a raceme of 4-12 smaller, semi-erect flowers, with more reflexed segms.; color white, tinged rose-pink, unspotted, changing to uniform rose - purple. Both these varieties are perhaps entitled to rank as distinct species. Var. minus, Hort., is mentioned. CH
