﻿LITERATDRK OF FURCRAEA WITH SYNOPSIS OF SPECIKS. 69 



named in Herb. Kcw. appear to be undoubtedly referable to 

 iuberosa. 



hexapetala'\ (Jacq.) Urban in = Furcraea cabensis, Ven- 

 Symb. Antill.iv. 152 (1903). tenat (1793). 

 Jacquin's "Agave hexapetala" was undoubtedly prior to 

 his "Agave cubensis," but as Ventenat, when founding Fur- 

 craea, took up "cuhensis" it must stand. Sintenis' 482 from 

 Puerto Rico, cited by Urban, may be F. tuberosa Ait. fil.; it 

 does not appear in any case to be F. cubensis, Ventenat. Of 

 the localities given in the Symbolae, several undoubtedly 

 belong to F. tuberosa.

It is impossible to say what Jacobi's type of "F. tuberosa" 

 (which consisted of leaves only) may have been ; from the de- 

 scription it might be a plant collected on the Magdalena lit- 

 toral by Purdie which has been discussed above under F. 

 spinosa, Targioni-Tozzetti; Jacobi himself identified it with 

 "F. interrupta" of Van Houtte's nursery at Ghent; and of 

 that there is a photograph at Kew which represents appar- 

 ently a state of F. tuberosa, Ait. fil.
