Il. SOME GENERA CLOSELY RELATED TO HYPOXIS. 
Previous to 1762 the plants now known as Hypoxis were scattered 
among the genera Anthericum, Crocus, Ornithogalum, Allium etc. 
Linnaeus in the first edition of his Species Plantarum (1753) had thus 
distributed them but in his second edition (1762) he formed under 
Hexandria Monogynia the genus Hypoxis with four species. In his 
Philosophia Botanica (1751) he had proposed a fragment of a Natural 
System of classification and in Sprengel's edition of this work (1809) 
Hypoxis was added to the class Coronariae. 
Jussieu in 1789 published his Genera Plantarum in which he proposed 
a system of classification supposed to be more natural than the one of 
Linnaeus because the whole structure of the plant was taken into
