I have not examined many Species of this Order, hoping that 
Haworrn, who knows them better than any other C suba would 
ere this have described them all more fully in a Monographia. 
Phylloma is a Genus from the Isle of Bourbon very properly esta- : 
blished by Mr. J. B. Ken, producing thick fleshy Berries with many 
Seeds in each cell, but what n As change to when ripe I do 
not um nor that of their Ji an appa- 
rent Tube, and it has the yellow sinking j es of many A The 
type of T'riclissa is A cde varia has à ies Corolla 
with very short segments, melliferous "bo ores qu^ the lege of its Peri- 
carpium as in Hyacinth, pes the Leaves of two Species are finely 
crenulated ; of T'ritoma being already occupied 
in Ento sri i et altered its termination, still preserving some 
allusion to its 3-angular ar F oliage. Ptyas, like - Aloe Disticha of LINNÉ, 
my opinion iti Aloe besides 
other characters, in its 3 outer Petals united into a straight cylin- 
ieal Tube considerably beyond their middle, while its 3 inner 
Petals are quite separate and loose both from the outer, and from 
each other; Mepicus has detached it by the Malabar name of 
Kumara, not admitted even by Apanson, and independent of its 
loe must probably be divi again, especially 
such Species as are allie Dichotoma of Pa c ws 
an immense Tree with at 3 o et in diameter, and 
branches extending to a circle at their extremities of 400 feet; with 
me others lass, it forms an exception to the mode in whic 
th nocotyledonous are enlarged, laying on 
but perfectly cylindrical not swelled out at the base; its Flowers 
are of an uniform bright yellow colour, 2 inches long, i in a simple 
Spike with a robust Peduncle; in Habit it agrees with the frutescent 
Aloes. Gasteria AL has species with pearly Leaves, showing 
its affinity to the next Gans and here an ceconomy prevails directly
