of the whole genus, and the correspondence of the filaments 
depends upon that of the lacinia to which they are: at- 
tached at the base. The dissection of Amaryx3uts rutila 
in the Botanical Register is imaccurate.] Mature cap- 
sule 3-celled, which is not so in Crinum. Seeds flat, 
shining black, winged ; (coming nearer to Gladiolus and 
Watsonia than to Crinum or any of the genera confounded 
with Amaryllis, except Cyrtanthus) originally in two piles to 
each cell, the edge of each seed lapping alternately over the 
edge of a lower seed in the other pile; but as they swell, 
closing into one pile, exactly as the two halves of a pack of 
cards when shuffled. Leaves bifarious. |

“ Atamasco and tubispatha have thicker. seeds, and per- 
haps a difference will-be found inthe filaments, which may place 
them in a separate. genus between Amaryllis and the Euro- 
pean bulbs at present known by that name. They both refuse 
to breed with Amaryllis proper. . 
“ Cyrranruus is closely allied to Amaryxus, and has similar 
seeds. Itis distinguished a an open and almost sub-ventricose 
tube, and short filaments, inserted separately into the limb of 
the corolla, It is confined to South Africa.
