Jacobi (Versuch, etc. Sep. Abdr., p. 270) pointed out that 

 this could not be F. gigantea and suggested that it might be 

 i^. Selloa, K. Koch; it was more probably intended for F 

 tuberosa, Ait. fil., and Jacobi would no doubt have recog- 

 nized this had he seen good examples of the Kew ''tuberosa " 

 Kegel identified his plant with Rocmer's 'War. Willemetiam" 

 ot ^ gigantea, which is simply a book adaptation of Funium 

 pitiferum, WiUemet (q. v.). 



gigantea, Martius Fl. Brasil. ^ Furcraea gigantea

The remarks, however, cover Furcraea tuberosa, Ait fil 

 as well. 



gigantea, Grisobach in Fl. Br. = Furcraea tuberosa 



W. Indies (18G4). Ait. fil.? 



The description, which is very brief and not altogether 

 applicable, relates to F. gigantea, Ventenat, or rather to the 

 older descriptions of that plant; but the only specimen act- 

 ually_ seen by Griscbach was from Antigua, and was there- 

 fore m all probability F. tuberosa, to which, moreover the 

 remarks apply directly.
