Laet, Joannes - lib. 15, cap. 10, (p. 567?) L'histoire du Nouveau monde (1640)
In the French edition of 1640, book 15 deals with "Brasil and Guaiana". Chapter 10 begins on page 507. The brief passage, on page 509, merely mentions the white and red lilies. The work was compiled from various sources, and was printed as early as 1625. I could not find the Red Lily in the 1630 Dutch edition, but Gothic type is hard to read.

Ligon, Richard - A true & exact history of the island of Barbados: 1657 (p. 99) Mentioned a "red Lilly", and noted that it is not fragrant.

Rochefort, Charles de - Histoire Naturelle des les Antilles de l'Amerique: (1658) 1661 (p. 133) Red Lily is compared to the yellow or orange Daylilies.

Rochefort, Charles de - Le tableau de l'isle de Tobago: 1665 (p. 112) Red Lily is described as orange, and said to be similar in form to the Daylily of the same color.

Du Tertre, Jean Baptiste - Histoire generale des Antilles habitées par las Francois: 1667-71 (2:110-111) Red Lily is described as resembling a Tulip, pale orange with a white base.

Hermann, Paul - Paradisus Batavas Prodromo: 1689 (p. 348) Lilium Americanum puniceo flore Bella Donna dictus. No other description.

Hermann, Paul - Paradisus Batavas: 1698 (p. 194, pl. 194) Flowers like those of a Daylily but larger, elegantly scarlet. Earliest known plate of the American Belladonna.
