A NEW KEY TO THE GENERA OF AilARYLLLDACE^ . 167 



strigosiis, and h-evifoliiis mere forms of carneus ; tenuifolius the 

 same as abyssinicus ; and H. coccineus, Forsk. {H. arabicus, Eoem.), 

 of which there is a ty^De- specimen in the Smithian herbarium, 

 identical also with ahi/ssinicus. Of published novelties since Kunth, 

 there are H. natalemis, Hook, 'Bot. Mag.,' t. 5378 ; H. cinnabarinus, 

 Decne., 'Bot. Mag.,' t. 5314; H. defonuis, Hook fil., 'Bot. Mag.,' 

 t. 5903 ; H. rotularis, rupestris, and Katherince, Baker ; and there 

 are fom- or five novelties in the group of H. coccineus still unde- 

 scribed. 



12. Buphane. — Two distinct species, disticha and toxicaria being 

 identical, and a third ((/uttata) doubtful ; toAcaria has been gathered 

 lately in Zambesi-land by Dr. Meller, and on the banks of Lake 

 Tanyanika by Lieut. Cameron. 



13. Hessea. — Species two to three, Dreffeana being doubtfully 

 distmct from stellar is. The plant described in detail by Kunth 

 under H. crispa is this same stellar is, and Amaryllis crispa, Jacq., 

 'Hort. Schoen,' t. 72, is a distinct species. 



14. Carpolyza. — Monotypic. 



15. .Lapiedra. — Species two. Martinezii, impei-fecily described 

 by Kunth, is fully figured by Boissier, 'Voy. Hisp.,' t. 171 ; and 

 a second very distinct sj)ecies, yet undescribed, is in Schousboe's 

 Mauritanian collection, 



16. Anoiyanthus. — Two species, as described ' Joiu'n. Bot.,' 

 1878, p. 76. 



17. Unyernia, Bunge, in 'Bull. Soc. Imp. Nat. Mosc.,' 1875, 

 ii., 171. Monotypic. 



18. Cliria. — Three species, the two additional to Kunth's being 

 C. Gardeni, Hook., in 'Bot. Mag.,' t. 4895, and Imantoplujllum 

 miniatum, Hook., in 'Bot. Mag.,' t. 4783. 



19. Phadranassa. — Three species, chloracea, obtusa, and multi- 

 Jiora, being mere forms of one ; and the two novelties, P. CarmioH, 

 Baker, in 'Ref. Bot.,' t. 46, and P. riridijiora, Baker. 



20. Callipsyclie. — Three species, the two additions being 

 C. aurantiaca, Baker, in 'Eef. Bot.,' t. 167, and C. mirabilis, Baker, 

 m 'Eef. Bot.,' t. 168. 



21. Grifftnia. — Seven species now known, the additions being 

 G. ornata, Moore; G. Bluvmiacia, 'Bot. Mag.,' t. 5666; and 

 G. Liboniana, Morren. G. dryades, Roem., the finest plant in the 

 genus, mentioned in Kunth by name only, is figured and fully 

 described by Sir Joseph Hooker from the Saunders' collection, 

 'Bot. Mag.,' t. 5786. 



22. Sprehelia. — Only two good species ; ylauca, rinyens, and 

 Karicinskii being varieties oi formosissiiiia. 



23. Serine. — Licluding Ammocharis and Lycoris. Species, 

 eighteen. I cannot make out any definite line of demarcation 

 between these three. If we widen AmmocJiaris, as in Kunth, to 

 take in Xerine lucida and rnaryinata, it diflers from the other two by 

 its short, stout sca^De, and resembles Brunsviyia in habit but not in 

 ovary and fruit. Additional species to those in Kunth are Xerine 

 japonica, Miquel, and Lycoris Seiverzuici, Kegel.
