	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.

	Root clusters of fleshy fibers: lvs. all from the root, in dense rosettes, long and linear: fls. white, yellow or rosy; perianth bell-shaped or more widely spreading, withering and persisting or finally dropping away; segms. 6, distinct or very slightly united at the base; stamens 6; ovary 3-celled; seeds 1-4 in each cell, 3-angled.—About 20 species, from the mountains of W. and Cent. Asia.

	Probably E. robustus and E. himalaicus are the hardiest of all the tall desert- inhabiting plants of the lily family—a family including the poker plant, the aloes, the yuccas, and many others that are not so tall and striking in appearance or else too tender to grow outdoors in the North. Large specimens of E. robustus will annually produce a flower- stalk 8 feet or more high, with racemes 4 feet long, remaining in bloom for a month. After flowering the leaves disappear entirely, but early in spring they reappear, and should then be covered with a box or barrel, to protect the forming flower-stalk from late frosts. A mound of ashes over the crown in winter is advisable, or a box with water tight top filled with dry leaves. Both species like a rich soil, moist but well drained, and plenty of water in the flowering period, but none afterwards. Propagation is by division, or slowly by seeds. Large plants are expensive, but they can sometimes be secured large enough to flower within a year or so of purchase. It tries one's patience to wait for seedlings to reach flowering size. The flowers look like small stars~~. (W. C. Egan.)~~		Probably E. robustus and E. himalaicus are the hardiest of all the tall desert- inhabiting plants of the lily family—a family including the poker plant, the aloes, the yuccas, and many others that are not so tall and striking in appearance or else too tender to grow outdoors in the North.
