CKNT. VII. 51 



name is to be substituted for my Quamasia 64. 

 It now appears that this G. is based on the 

 Skilla esculenta found from Kentucky to Mis- 

 souri, my Lem. hijacinthina ; while the same 

 plant found in Oregon is even another Genus 

 to which Lindley appUed also the name of Ca- 

 rnassia in 1832, as follows — 



602. Quamasia Raf 1827, Camassia Lindl, 

 1832. Fetalis 6 inequalis, 5 adscendens, 1 infe- 

 ru declinato unguicul. stam. 6 filif. hypog. equa- 

 lis omnis adscendens, stylo declinato, stigma 

 tridentatum — Habit of Lemotrys very distinct 

 by irregular petals, stamens and style. 



603. Quamasia esculeiita Raf. Lindl. b. 

 reg. 1486 excl. Skilla syn. Plialangium qua- 

 ■masJi Pursh. fol. longissimis carinatis non glau- 

 cis, petalis lanceolatis purp. ceruleis — In Ore- 

 gon, flowers double the size of Lemotrys hya- 

 cinthina that has glaucous leaves and pale blue 

 or white flowers, but this has also a white va- 

 riety or perhaps sp. figured by Hooker b. m. 

 2774. Sprengel united all these plants to An- 

 thericum, but totally different by stigma and 

 smooth stamens. 



604. Barnardia Lind. diff". ad Skilla, stam 

 basi dilatatis in squamis valvatis ut Asphode- 

 lus, caps, 31oc. 3sperma — Type B. scilloides 

 b. reg. 1029. Bulbus ovatus, fol. rad. lin. canal, 

 elongatis acutis, scapo racemose, fl. carneis, 

 bract, subnulis. China. This is a G. taken 

 from Skilla on characters like my own Genera. 

 The Skilla plumbea of Lind. b. reg. 1355 is a 

 real Skilla by filiform stamens. 



605. Uropetalon Echv. Zuccagnia Bodin 

 non alis, Dipcadis Uster diff*. ad Skilla et La- 

 chenalia, cor. tubulosa 6fida, lac. 3 externis, 

 stam. adnatis, stigma 3 — another G. near Le-
