(1840). marck (preced.) 



aspera, Jacquin (1762). = Furcraea (Fourcroya) 



ASPERA, M. Roemer. 

 australis, Steudel Nom. = Furcraea australis, 



(ed. 1) p. 18 (1821). Havvorth. 

 campanulata, Sesse et Moc. = Furcraea tuberosa, Ait fil 



Fl. Mexic. ant. 1809 (?) 



The date of the original publication is not ascertainable 

 from the writings of Colmeiro & Ramirez, or any other 

 authority at present accessible to the writer; but Sesse died 

 between 1804 and 1809 apparently. The description is in- 

 adequate, but as the plant was collected at the town of San 

 German in Puerto Rico it was probably F. tuherosa. 



Commelini, Salm Dyck in = Furcraea Commelyni, 



Hort. Dyck. (1834). Kunth. 

 cubemis, Jacquin (1763). = Furcraea cubensis, 



Ventenat. 



cubensis, Sprengel Syst. ii. = Furcraea cubensis, 



29 (1825). Haworth. 



Sprengel, who was followed by a few later authors, put 

 back the species of Furcraea known to him from previous 

 works into Agave, on manifestly insufficient grounds. The 

 "cubensis'' of Haworth is not F, cubensis, Ventenat because 

 for one thing it includes F. tuberosa. Ait. fil. /3, which is F. 

 tuberosa, Ait. fil. of the present paper. 



foetida. Linn. (1753) also = Furcraea gigantea, 



Sprengel (1825). Ventenat. 

 }oetida, Aublet (1775). = Furcraea gigantea, 



Ventenat . 



The remarks extend, however, to Furcraea tuberosa, Ait. 

 fil. by imphcation. 



foetida Lamarck (1784). = Furcraea gigantea, 



Ventenat (ex desc.)
