in the descriptions and illustrations of the following species I 

 find some information as to the shape of the bulbils. 



Fig. 6. Bulbil and a transverse 

 section of it. (X 2). 



Fig. 7. Front and side-view of 

 bulbil. (Xl'A). K. Wiinstedt del. 



Furcraea ciibensis Jacquin 1763 p. 100, tab. 175, fig. 28 shows a 

 terete, bulb-like bulbil, and in the text it is also 

 described in this manner. 



— Cahuja Trelease 1910 Taf. 37. Terete, bulb-like bulbils. 



— elegans Todaro. In the description in Hortus Panormi- 



tanus nothing is said about the shape of the bulbils. 



— gigantea Vent. Some material in the Botanical Museum 



of Copenhagen, determined by W. Trelease, shows 

 terete, bulb-like bulbils. 



— macrophylla Hook. Trelease 1910 Taf. 37. The bulbils 



terete, bulb-like. 



— Selloa K. Koch. Bot. Mag, tab. 6148 distinct terete 



bulbils. 



— tuberosa Ait. Some material in the Botanical Museum 



of Copenhagen (det. W. Trelease) shows terete, 

 bulb-like bulbils. Concerning F. lipsiensis (fide 

 Drummond = F, tuberosa Ait.) Jacobi 1869 p. 169 

 says, that the bulbils resembles "Gartenzwiebeln". 



— undulata Jacobi. To judge from Bot. Mag. 6160 and 



7250, these both represent the same species (fide 

 Drummond), the bulbils are terete also in this 

 species.
