Genus a. Herbertio in series 3, ad. foliorum. indolem, divisum, a Salisburyo in genera 5, charac- 
teribus male definitis, nec facile in speciminibus siecis observandis. Species tamen plurimze in series 
2 sequentes facile distribuendz :—1. Folia in bulbo plura, Sepe undulata, basi in vaginas semet 
involventes contracta, seapo laterali, Hue pertinent. Gvaxis (H. puniceus, Linn.) et NkmissA (H. 
multiflorus, Linn.) Salisb. Gen. Pl. Fragm. 131, speciesque paueze affinos. 2. Folia in bulbo 2, lata, 
sessilia, plana, haud raro ante anthesin evanida, scapo inter folia evoluto. Hue pertinent species 
numerose, genera H:xwANTHUS et Mxrrcno, Salisb. l.c. 130 formantes. DrAcuzs, Salisb. l.c. 130, est.

Species bene notze 2, Afric tropieze et australis incolz, inter se pluribus notis dissimiles, In 
B. toxicaria, Herb.; Jacq. Fragm. t. 39 et 41 (Hemanthus) ; Bot. Mag, t. 1217 (Hemanthus) ; Bot. 
Reg. t. 667 (Brunsvigia), perianthium fere Brunsvigie sed tubus angustus distinetior, et ovula
