Westcott, Floral Cabinet, t. 115. 
A biennial ? plant, with showy deep purple flowers ; in- 
troduced from the St. Petersburgh Garden under the above 
name. It produces seeds, and is easily multiplied by cut- 
tings.—Seems very near Z. bipartita.

cellis geminis brevissimis 2-3-bracteatis, ovario elliptico glabro. Knowles 
$ Westcott, Floral Cabinet, append. iii. 126. 
Said to be a small-flowered but very pretty plant; the 
calyx whitish inside, the petals yellowish white, the crown 
spotted with purple. Nothing is said of its habits, or of the 
country it is found wild in: but as it was imported by Mr. 
Barker it is probably Mexican.

Neither the colour of the flowers, nor the stature or habits 
of this plant, nor the country from which it was introduced,

DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE GENERA HYMENOCALLIS AND 
PANCRATIUM. 
In the recent Appendix to the Botanical Register, I have 
regarded Mr. Herbert's genus Æ ymenocallis as not being dis- 
tinct from Pancratium. Upon this subject I have received 
the following note from Mr. Herbert. 
“I think you have not fully attended to the difference 
between those two genera. The first has the ovules flat, 
cumulative, horizontal, attached to the axis. The second 
oblong, subcylindrical, erect, attached to or near the base. 
The first has a separable black shell, and an albuminous 
kernel within the inner coat; the latter has no separable 
shell at all, but the embryo naked in a cavity within. 
The anthers and pollen are as different as the seed. The 
former native of the old continent and impatient of wet; the 
second of the new, and liking submersion. I see no analogy
