Dracontee have a partial Envelope to each Flower, which is her- 
maphrodite. Here the Spatha is often small, or not different from 
a common Bracte, and numerus 4-narius frequent: in their female 
Organs they agree nearly with Caladec, but the Seeds of some are 
without Albumen. In Hvwsorprs work Dracontium Feetidum L. 
is referred by Kuntu to Calla on the authority of Rrcmanp, and by 
some mistake he adds that of Mr. R. Brown, for the latter says 
expressly in his Prodomus, “proprii Ge neris esse videtur.”

Of these Genera, which are distinguished from Caladew by their 
capsular Fruits, I know nothing more than what is published by S 
writers above quoted ; inserting both Orders first on account of
