blossoms which appear in July and August, are twice the size of those of the _flava_, of a tawny orange colour, without gloss or smell, the Petals waved on the edge, the flowers are rarely or never succeeded by ripe Capsules as in the _flava_, which is a circumstance that has been noticed by PARKINSON; when these several characters, in which the _fulva_ differs so essentially from the _flava_, are attentively considered, we shall wonder that LINNÆUS could entertain an idea of their being varieties of each other. The _Hemerocallis fulva_, from its size, and from the great multiplication of its roots, is best adapted to large gardens and plantations. May be propagated by parting its roots in Autumn.
