Juncec, notwithstanding its beautiful floral Envelope differs so widely, 
being tubular with an hypocrateriform Limb; moreover, he never 
mentions one of its most remarkable characters, either in hi 
Prodromus, or full description in FLINDERS, voyage, which was

the very sharp attenuated base of the Corolla and Receptacle. After

may form of my judgment, respecting the affinity of any Plant, 
which I have thoroughly examined. Cordyline forms a small Tree, 
and one Species in our Stoves with red Leaves has hitherto been 
referred to Dracena, which it approaches in Flowers, but has very 
different black shining Seeds. Neither of the two Dianellas i in the 
gardens about London correspond with the Generic character in the 
Prodromus Flor Nove Hollandiæ; their Petals being unequal, the 
outer more ealycine; their Filaments callosa not stuposa at the top ; 
Style of one gradually attenuated, of the other a little swelled in the 
middle; their Stigma 3-fid ; Pedicels arti iculated at the top; and 
Bractes opposite to the Pedicels. To Styponema I only refer the 
first section of Stypandra, distinguished by nodding Flowers, Pe- 
cels without Bractes, and opake Seeds; the Filaments , not 
Anthers, being stuposa render the latter name absurd. lona

proprit Generis,” which I now do not doubt about, and have named 
it after VrwcENT Srow, born in Flanders, bus who lived fd in
