168 A NEW KEY TO THE GENERA OF AMARYLLIDACE^ . 



24. Brumviyia. — Eight species ; B. Coojjeri, Baker, in ' Ref. 

 Bot.,' t. 330, being added to those in Kunth. 



25. Amaryllis. — Monotypic, A. hlanda being a variety of Bella- 

 donnat and A. staminca, Seubert, a synonym of Hippeastrum 

 stylosum, Herb. 



26. Hippeastrum. — Including Habranthus, Phycella, and Rhodo- 

 phiala, as in Kunth; and lilwdolirion, PhiUppi, in 'Linnsea,' xxix., 

 p. 65. Species about fifty, those m Kunth needing to be much 

 reduced, especially in Habranthus. Many novelties have been 

 described by Philippi and others. For details, see 'Joiuii. Bot.,' 

 1878, p. 79. 



27. Vallota. — Monotypic. 



28. Crinmn. — Species about fifty, those in Kunth needing little 

 change. C. Lindleyanmn, undulatum, attemmtuvi, Commelyni, and 

 yracilijiurum are scarcely more than varieties of erubescens. The 

 principal novelties are C. Moorei, Hook, fil., in 'Bot. Mag.,' t. 6113; 

 C. Tinneanum, of Kotschy and Peyritsch; C. wiijiorum, F. Muller ; 

 C. jioridanmn, Fraser ; and C. Macowajii, Baker ; and there are 

 three or four others still undescribed. C. brachynema, Herb., im- 

 perfectly described by Kunth, which differs from all the rest by its 

 short filaments, has now been introduced in a living state from 

 Western India, and is figured 'Bot. Mag.,' t. 5937. 



29. Chlidanthus. — Monotypic ; Elirhenberyii being, apparently, 

 the same as frayrans, and Cumingii something totally different, 

 probably Hippeastrum advenum. 



30. Urceolaria, Herb. — {Collania, Schultes, a later name. ) Mono- 

 typic ; fiilva being a mere form of p)endula. 



31 . Pentlandia. — Monotypic. 



32. Cyrtanthus. — Three sections, — Cyrtantlms proper, Monella, 

 and (Tastronema, with the last of which Cyphonema is identical. 

 Species fifteen ; pallidiis, striatus, and ventricosus being, apparently, 

 varieties of anyustifoUus ; and the additions, C. Mackenii, Hook. fil. ; 

 C. sanyuineus, Hook., in 'Bot. Mag.,' t. 5218; and C. Macoivani 

 and Tuckii, Baker. 



33. Eustephia. — Monotypic. See ' Journ. Bot.,' 1878, p. 39. 



34. Vayaria. — Monotypic. Pancratium parvifiorum, Kunth, is 

 identical. 



35. Calliphruria. — Species three ; the additions being 0. edentata, 

 Baker, in 'Bot. Mag.,' t. 6289; and a third, still undescribed. 



36. Tapeinanthus = Carreynua, Boiss. — Monotyinc. 



37. Hyline. — Monotypic. 



38. Hymenocallis. — Including Choretes. Species ten to fifteen, 

 those in Kunth needing great reduction. H. Bonplandi is a 

 Eucharis. 



39. Ismme. — Species five to six; peduuculata, Madeanica, and 

 virescens being apparently identical. Two novelties yet undescribed. 

 /. dejiexa is probably a hybrid between Ismene and Elisena, such as 

 Colonel Trevor Clarke has lately raised. 



40. Pancratium. — Species about a dozen : caroliniaymm being 

 undistinguishable from maritimum ; malabathricum, Herb., fi'om
