MILLED. 
:jrr. J. 0. Bakkr in his " Revision of the Genera and Species of herbaceous capsular gamophyllous 
Liliacea>," in Join: Lin. Soc, \o\. XI, pp. 349-436, (1870,) divides the Suborder of true LxVmcem, (having a 
3-celled capsular fruit and connate styles,) into two series, one with the segments of the perianth free to 
the very bnse, the other having them united for at least the lower third or quarter of their length. Of 
the six trilx s into which he subdivides this last series, and which include 26 genera and 220 species, the 
two tribes H'dka and Odonlostcmoiuw are wholly American and embrace all the American species, with a 
single exception. 
This only excepted genus and species, Hesperocallis undalata, Gray, Proe. Amer. Acad. 7, 390, appears 
aUied to HemromUis of the tribe EemerocaUidece, having a leafy stem, racemose fuimelform flowers, and
