ON CHLAMYD0STYLU8. 187 



^tylis proper by its broad connective, just as Chlamydostylus Medusa 

 and cernua differ from tenuis and multiflorus. Dr. Klatt in Linn^a 

 XXXV., 383, has referred both this and Gelasine texana, Herb., to 

 Alophia Drummondiana, but after examining Herbert's type specimens 

 of the three I am prepared to coofidently endorse his view that they 

 belong to three different genera, Alophia being a neighbour of 

 Cypella. 



4. N. TEiFLOKA, Herh. tn PL Hartvjeg, p. 95. — Mexico, Hartweg, 

 625. I have not seen this, and as Herbert in his description does not 

 expressly say vphether the filaments are united or free it may prove a 

 Chlamydostylus. 



Gelasine, Herb, in Bot. Mag., tab. 3779. — Filaments monadel- 

 phous ; style-arms simple.

3. G. ? PUKEUCHUCAisrA, Herh. loc. cit. — Andes of Purruchuca, 

 Matthews, 784 ! Requires re-examination upon better specimens. 



Herbert's G. nuda and texana both belong to the next genus. 



Calydokea, Herh. in B t. Reg., 1843, Misc., p. 85. — Botherbe, 

 ^* Steud.,'" Klatt in Linncea, 531-562. — Eoterbe, Klatt in Fl. Bras, iii., 

 p. 543, tab. 91, lig. 4,nof Sieiid. Filaments free ; style-arms simple 

 or emarginate at the tip. This is the largest genus of the four. Dr. 

 Klatt has fully described several of the species under the generic 

 name of Botherbe or Roterhe, but he has overlooked Herbert's genus, 

 characterised in 1843, and besides this the two plants distributed by 

 Steudel in Lechler's collection under the name Roterhe have neither of 

 them anything to do with the plants with which we are now dealing, 

 for one is a Herbertia and the other a Lihertia.
