. 33. D. pallida, LindL Swan Riv. Jpp, 20. Bulbous, with a slender 

 rootstock. Leafy stem flexuose or twining, often 1 to 2 ft. long or even 

 more, glabrous or glandular-pubescent. Lower leaves few, reduced to linear 

 acute scales ; stem-leaves on slender petioles, peltate, orbicular, often above 2 

 lines diameter. Flowers apparently white, several in a loose cyme, larger than 

 in B, myriantha, but usually smaller than in the following species. Sepals 

 from under 2 lines to at least 3 lines long, glabrous and entire or very shortly 

 ginndular-ciliate. Styles divided to the base into extremely numerous very 

 slender and acute branches, stigmatic a coasider^ible way down. — Lehm. PI. 

 Preiss. i. 253.

34. D. peniciUaris, BentJi. Bulbous, ^vith a slender rootstock. Leafy 

 stem slender, flexuose or twining, usually glabrous. Lower leaves reduced to 

 linear acute scales ; stem-leaves on sleuder petioles, peltate, orbicular, rather 

 Sttiall. yioMrcrs apparently red, rather large, several in a loose cyme or short 

 branched raceme. Sepals pubescent or villous, ciliate-toothed, 2 to 3 lines 

 lo^g. Anthers oblong. Styles divided, as in Z). pallida, into exceedingly 

 numerous very slender branches, stigmatic a considerable way down. Seeds 

 numerous, linear.— D. Drummoudii, Planch- in Ann. Sc. Nat. ser. 3, ix. 293,

35. D* filicaulis, Endl. hi Ilueg. Emm. 6. Bulbous, with a slender 

 jootstock. Leafy stem slender, flexuose, glabrous, usually simple and under 

 1ft. long. Lower leaves few, reduced to narrow acute scales; stem-leaves 

 fn slender petioles, peltate, orbicular, rarely 2 lines diameter. Flowers ratlier 

 f%^> apparently red, few in short loose simple racemes, very rarely once- 

 ^I'anched. Sepals glabrous or more frequently slightly villous, ciliate-toothed, 

 Joul about 2 to nearly 4 lines long when in fruit. Anthers oblong. Sty es 

 ?iJed, as in B. pallida, nearly to the base into extremely numerous slender 

 pi^pIe branches, stia-matic a considerable way down.— Lehm. Pi. Ireiss.
