Reported from Algeria; no description given, but it is 

 probably the "Hayti Hemp" of certain markets, and may 

 be the plant, yielding fiber of the same class as "Sisal" and 

 "Pite d'Haiti," which forms the subject of an article by M. 

 Fasio in Journ. d'Agricult. Tropicale no. 41 of 1904, p. 342. 

 "Pite d'Haiti" has been commonly referred to Furcraea 

 gigantea, Ventenat, but the original Haiti plant is more 

 likely to have been Furcraea tuberosa, Ait. fil.

 Todaro however (Hort. Panorm. i, 13) gives F. Ghries- 

 brechtii (sic.) of Verschaffelt's 1867-68 Catalogues as being 

 F. elegans, Todaro, which can hardly be the same as F. De- 

 mouliniana, Jacobi. 



* Two difffiient forms seem to have found their way to England 

 under this name; one of which may be F. afroviridis Jac. & Goepp.
