whiteness ",
was used as the general name of several plants common to Syria ,
such as the tulip ,
iris ,
anemone ,
gladiolus ,
ranunculus ,
etc .
Some interpret it ,
with much probability ,
as denoting in the Old Testament the water -
lily (
Nymphoea lotus of Linn .),
or lotus (

Its flowers are large ,
and they are of a white colour ,
with streaks of pink .
They supplied models for the ornaments of the pillars and the molten sea " (

In the Canticles its beauty and fragrance shadow forth the preciousness of Christ to the Church .
Groser ,
however (
Scrip .
Nat .
Hist .),
strongly argues that the word ,
both in the Old and New Testaments ,
denotes liliaceous plants in general ,
or if one genus is to be selected ,
that it must be the genus Iris ,
which is "
large ,
vigorous ,
elegant in form ,
and gorgeous in colouring ."
The lilies (
Gr .
krinia )
spoken of in the New Testament (
Matt .
6 :
28 ;
Luke 12 :
27 )
were probably the scarlet martagon (
Lilium Chalcedonicum )
or "
red Turk '
s -
cap lily ",
which "
comes into flower at the season of the year when our Lord '
s sermon on the mount is supposed to have been delivered .
It is abundant in the district of Galilee ;
and its fine scarlet flowers render it a very conspicous and showy object ,
which would naturally attract the attention of the hearers " (
Balfour '
s Plants of the Bible ).
Of the true "
floral glories of Palestine "
the pheasant '
s eye (
Adonis Palestina ),
the ranunuculus (
R .
Asiaticus ),
and the anemone (
A coronaria ),
the last named is however ,
with the greatest probability regarded as the "
lily of the field "
to which our Lord refers . "
Certainly ,"
says Tristram (
Nat .
Hist .
of the Bible ), "
if ,
in the wondrous richness of bloom which characterizes the land of Israel in spring ,
any one plant can claim pre -
eminence ,
it is the anemone ,
the most natural flower for our Lord to pluck and seize upon as an illustration ,
whether walking in the fields or sitting on the hill -
side ." "
The white water -
lily (
Nymphcea alba )
and the yellow water -
lily (
Nuphar lutea )
are both abundant in the marshes of the Upper Jordan ,
but have no connection with the lily of Scripture ."
