 The constellation ''Lilium'', the fleur-de-lis of France, was posthumously published in 1674 on plate 2 of the atlas ''[https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b59714416/f2.zoom Globi coelestis in tabulas planas redacti descriptio],'' although Pardies did not attach a name to the image. He had reused four stars in the north of Aries from which the Dutch cartographer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrus_Plancius Petrus Plancius] in 1613 had previously formed Apes, the Bee to model the constellation.

Si l’on prend le triangle & la tête de Méduse pour les deux extrémités de la base d’un triangle équilatéral dont le sommet seroit au Midi, on remarquera trois étoiles dont une est de la troisieme grandeur, c’est la petite Constellation de la Mouche, ou le Lys.</blockquote>English translation:<blockquote>'''The Head of Medusa''' To the east of the triangle (''Triangulum'') we see a group of five stars, forming the Head of Medusa; the easternmost is of the second magnitude, and is called Algol; this star is singular in that it diminishes in magnitude and luminosity in the period of 2 days 20 hours 49 minutes 1 second. If we take the triangle (''Triangulum'') and the Head of Medusa for the two extremities of the base of an equilateral triangle whose summit would be southwards, we will notice three stars of which one is of the third magnitude, it is the small Constellation of the Fly, or the Lily.</blockquote>
 ==Mythology==
 The Lily was an emblem of France: the "Fleur-de-lis" (Unicode U+269C ⚜) is a heraldic symbol. In particular, in the time of Louis XIV this symbol was dedicated to the French king as the country's representative.
