three others smaller; in the centre are the;three carpellary tubercles as 
yet unclosed. 
9. Andrecium of the same bud as 8, more highly magnified and seen from 
the back. 
10. Andreecium from a flower more fully advanced than 9, and showing 
the three larger and three smaller stamens surrounding the pistil. 
11. Back of the andreecium from tho same flower as 10: P, p, the petals. 
12. Andrcecium and gynecium still further developed; the anthers are now 
well developed. 
. 13. Andracium from the same flower as fig. 12, seen from the back. 
14. Anthers beginning to show the spiral twist. 
15. Andreecium and pistil completed. 
16. Posterior view of the same. 
17. Andreecium complete from another flower; parts forced open. 
18. Androcium from the back showing traces of the posterior staminode (?) 
at x. 
19. Diagram of the flower. 
In the preceding figures s stands for the sepals, p for the petals; o indicates 
the position of the axis, x the situation of the posterior appendage, and I the

Revision of the Genera and Species of Scillee and Chlorogalee. 
By J. G. Baxkr, Esq., F.L.S. 
[Read March 7, 1872.] 
THE present paper may be regarded as a continuation of the re- 
vision of the genera and species of Liliaces, the first part of which 
I had the honour of submitting to the Society two years ago, and 
which was printed in the eleventh volume of the ‘ Proceedings,’ 
pp. 349 to 436. In that part I dealt with the whole of the gamo- 
phyllous capsular section of the order, exclusive of the tribe 
Aloinee. I am not prepared to suggest any better plan of classi- 
fying the capsular Liliacew than to arrange them, in the first 
place, in two series—one characterized by a perianth with the di- 
visions more or less completely united, and the other in which 
they are free down to the base. If we adopt this plan and take 
for the diagnostics of tribes the characters furnished by the 
nature of the rootstock and plan of arrangement of the inflores- 
cence, regarding a material difference in either of these two points 
as of sufficient importance to constitute a distinct tribe, our 
tribes in the two series will run, to a large extent, parallel with 
one another, there being pretty much the same range of variation 
in inflorescence and rootstock in the gamophyllous and polyphyl-
