58 FLOR. TELL. 



with whitish, greenish and rufous flowers. 

 Habit of Aloes, The G. Trichopetalon of 

 Lindley dilfers from this by the petals plumose 

 or hairy inside not outside. It has 2 types Tr. 

 gracile and stellatum, once Anthericum plumo- 

 sum. 



642. LoNcoxis Raf. (lance sharp) diff". ad 

 Fusifilum 69, filamentis basi dilat. lanceolatis 

 planis acum. caps, trigona oligosperma. — A- 

 nother G. or subg. distinguished by the flat sta- 

 mens, very near to Loncomelos 57 but petals 

 equal. Type L. sulfur ea Raf. Anthericum sulf. 

 Waldst. W. P. Spr. h. mag. 2623. fol. lin. ca- 

 nal, obtusis, scapo tereto, racemo teres, petalis 

 obi. obtusis pallide sulfureis. In Hungary. All 

 the sp. of Anthericum or Phalangium, my En- 

 dogona, must be revised ; as stated they would 

 all be Skillas without bulbs! A. graminif. with 

 3 undulate petals must be a subgenus at least. 



643. Eliokarmos Raf. see 58, my charac- 

 ters then were rather those of Tomoxis 618 : 

 as I meant Orn. thyrsoides and akin to be the 

 type of this Genus I must rectify it — Petalis 6 

 patens ovatis subeq. stam. 6 ineq. lanceol. 3 alt. 

 magis dilat. ad basis, apex bifurcatis. Ovar. 

 glob, coloratum, stylo brevissimo crasso tereto, 

 stigma capitate trilobo ; jl. racemosis vel tliyr- 

 soideis — Therefore this G. is distinct, very near 

 to MelompJiis chiefly distinct by stigma nearly 

 sessile and split unequal stamens. The types 

 are the various sp. blended as Orn. thyrsoides, 

 aureum, 4'C, which are in utter confusion, and 

 I can only indicate some of them here.

 Red. lil. 333 — Fol. lanceol. racemo thyrsoides
