Sxpnanissa, Salisb. Gen. Pl. Fragm. 37, genus ad U. exuviatam et. U. filifoliam, Steinh. confectum. 
Species sunt Austro-Africanz, bulborum tunicis nonnullis in vaginam seariosam vittis transversis 
elevatis notatam produetis insignes. Baker sectionem extendit ad species omnes typicas Steinheilii, 
inclusis pluribus quarum vagin: vittis carent. 
SoviLLA, Steinh. in. Ann. Sc. Nat. ser. 2, vi. 270, a Bakero pro sectione admissa, includit U. mari- 
tima, Bak., speciesque paucas aflines, ab Urgineis typieis non nisi bulbo majore et foliis latioribus 
distinctas. 
Albucopsis, Baker, pro seetione proposita, ineludit U. indicam, Kunth, speciesque nonnullas affines 
ex Africa tropica, quibus nervus centralis segmentorum perianthii plus minus distincte duplex est, 
v. in una specie nervi 3 discreti. 
U. secunda, Baker (Ornithogalum, Jacq.), ad hujus generis sect. Osmynem restituenda videtur, ob 
perianthium explanatum, filamentis hypogynis. 
U. aloides, Bolus in Journ. Linn, Soc. xviii. 395, a genere pluribus notis longe recedens, supra ad 
JNotosceptrum relata est.
