was indeed surprized ; for the only Genera among A. L. DE sa USSIEU’S 
Asphodelt, which can be associated with Hemerocallis, nam 
mium Fonsr. and Liliastrum T. have not a tubular darsi : Eavelope, 
d — i its base; and their Seeds as well as tho ose of e very 
combine 
cence. Pedicels not articulated, Petals coalescing higher or lower, 
Pericarpium generally though not always superum. Filaments and 
ss reclined. Seeds brown or black, with an Embryo close to the 
Hilum in fleshy Albumen, distinguis ish the Order pretty well. In 
the first Section s Seeds having a brown Coat, —— is 
joined by Mr. R. Brown to Amaryllidec, and what is extra- 
ordin; with Crinum conie Calostemma intervening ai it and 
Blandfor dia; for it seems to me not very remote especially in Habit, 
from this last Genus; and on the other side its learned author 
Correa DE SERRA long ago noticed its close affinity to Agaveæ, — 
I should certainly have inserted it, if the Pedicels had been articu- 
lated ; it differs however in its Anther s from Agavee, retes in 
them more with Hemerocallideæ ; the See ds are not unlike those of 
ey are

e of Iris, even the Flowers also have so ^ niin to those 
only cohering at their base, the three outer linear-lanceolate, 
sheathing the three inner, which are lon ger and spatulate ; Capsule 
long, 3-quetrous, splitting at its axis ath back of each cell in 
valves; Seeds black, shining, winged, with a a long narrow sero
