9. MILLA, Cat. 



1. M. biflora, Cav. Corm small, membranous-coated : leaves 

 subterete, very rough : scape smooth, 2 to 12 inches high, bearing 1 to 

 5 nearly equal elongated pedicels (3 to 6 inches long) : perianth 1 ^ to 



2 inches long, the broadly oblong-lanceolate segments (the inner nar- 

 rower) about twice longer than the tube. — Icon. 2. 76, t. 196 ; Lindl. 

 Bot. Reg. t. 1555. Diphalangium graminifolium, Schauer, Linnsea, 

 19. 702. From S. Arizona and New Mexico to Central Mexico. 



10. LEUCOCRINUM, Nutt. 



1. L. montantjm, Nutt. Leaves several, rather thick, 1 to 3 lines 

 broad: flowers (4 to 8) on pedicels \ to \\ inches long, the very 

 slender tube an inch or two long : capsule truncate, 3 or 4 lines long, 

 with 4 to 6 seeds in each cell. — Gray, Ann. N. Y. Lye. 4. 110; 

 Watson, King's Rep. 5. 349, t. 36, f. 1-3. Weldenia, Endl. Gen. PL 

 1358. Colorado to N. California, in sandy valleys. 



The Mexican Weldenia Candida is known only from the de- 

 scription and figure by Schult. f. (in Regensb. Flora (1829), 12. 1, t. 1, 

 and Syst. 7. 1136), based upon a single imperfect specimen collected by 

 Karwinsky in the mountains near Toluca ("Nevada de Toluca"). It 

 is represented as differing from Leucocrinum mainly in its broader 

 and short leaves, perianth-segments only three, and anthers extrorse. 



11. CAMASSIA, Lindl. 



1. C. esculenta, Lindl. Scape stout, a foot or two high: leaves 



3 to 8 lines broad : pedicels rather stout, mostly shorter than the 

 usually dark -blue flowers: perianth-segments 7 to 15 lines long, 

 scarcely exceeding the style, a little longer .than the stamens : anthers 

 a line or two long: ovules 16 to 18 in each cell: capsule oblong- 

 obovate, somewhat narrowed at base, rather obtusely angled, 6 to 12 

 lines long. — Bot. Reg. t. 1486; Fl. Serres, t. 275; Baker, Jo urn.

 the smaller (4 to 7 lines long) light-blue flowers : ovules 6 to 9 in 

 each cell : capsule very broadly triangular-globose, acutely angled, 3
