I cannot see any affinity in thes e Plants to Scilla and d 
with which Lrxx£, and s$ L. pz Jussieu have joined them. Their 
g 
e Order at present may be charaeterized solely by its Anthers, to 
which however there is an approach in those one with th where the 
colour of its Flowers, 
which I believe are never ae but ros a fancied resemblance in 
m to the outer ers OURNEFORT’s Cyanus our English 
Corn-flower. TNEE's description and figures of the Fruit are not 
uite correct ; for - A: it completely superum; but that of 
every species I have ined was somewhat inferum, and contained 
from 7 to 15 Seeds in praes cell, though many of them were abortive.
