detached from the Petals. I exclude all Plants from the Order 
ceeteris paribu us,is à » character of no ordinal value whatever, but I 
dissent in toto from the last mentioned carpologist when he applies 
it to join such Genera as Anthericum, Cordyline and Asparagus, in 
one and the same Order, and am here ‘content rather to follow A. L. 
Anthericum has yellow Petals, united into a Ring; 
Fiunt bearded eae: their middle with long 
red externally, equal in size or very nearly so; hypogynous Fila- 
ments thickened in the middle and finely pubescent ; I have not seen 
its ripe Seeds, but Dzsrowrarwrs calls the Fruit a Capsule, and I 
therefore place it here; the Ovarium of 4 specimens contained 3 
Seeds constantly in each cell. Chlorophytum differs widely from 
every other Genus of the Order in its Capsules, the lobes of which 
winged ; and a Species in Hindostan, the Anthers of which become 
hinat PEER after their Pollen is discharged, must probably be 
ium i most B 
tanists of any credit, but I cannot join with it Liyné’s Anthericum 
mosum ; for this has the 3 inn inner Petals very large and crisped, like .

the name of Pessularia. Lastly, Liliago of Corpus by its i irre 
Flower connects Dorydiwm in the next Order, and though its Petals 
cohere at their base, its Filaments inserted i e distin tinct from them 
in the Receptacle, with an indefinite number of Seeds in each cell, 
detach it completely as a Genus here
