CENTURIA IX. 19 



fol. 8-lOlanceol. trinervis petiolatis. Nipal, the 

 flowers vary with ternary and quaternary parts, 

 but the style is permanent. It is therefore a 

 Hnk between TrilUum and Medeola. If not 

 admitted as a G. Varis cannot neither, that has 

 quaternary parts, but 4 reflexed styles and 4loc 

 berry, leaves 4 ovate sessile trinerve acute. All 

 belong to my family Trillidia differing from 

 Asparagides by several styles or stigmas, and 

 habit often whorled.
