forming large Tufts; Flowers yellow or copper-coloured, scattered 
in unequally dichotomous Panicles, with Bractes at a little distance 
from the Pedicels; the Tube of the Corolla is almost cylindrical ; 
Filaments inserted in the orifice of the Tube; and the Seeds are 
egg-shaped with a shining black Coat not winged. The next Genus, 
Liliastrum of TovgNEFoRT was referred to ve by Liyné in 
his 1st edition of Species Plantarum, though terwards removed 
i ed that 
a mongrel Latin and irit exe every way untenable. pes 
and Niobe are two Chinese Plants, with petioled heart-shaped ribbed 
ves, Flowers in a simple Spike, and Petals united into a Tube a 
little swelled at the bottom as in Hemerocallis, but they do not M 
with that Genus sufficiently in other points, or with each other, to 
in the Receptacle; a Pericarpium with 3 melliferous channels 
at the top; and its hich are winged nearly all round, con- 
tain several Embryos, first noticed by Sir WILFRID son Bart.,

engraved in Tab. es of Niobe are of a more beau

the bottom of the Tube; Capsule long and narrow; and its Seeds 
terminate in a long wing like those of Agapanthus ; I found the 
Embryo varying exceedingly in length, but always solitary in about 
30 specimens which I dissected. The name of Agapanthus was 
proposed by SorawpER, long before DaA/s; his character however 
in the Ist edition of Ho rtus Kewensis i is incorrect, the Corolla being 
i d this bl 
ribe ,W it — is; an Fm er has been 
copied by all modern writers, even the Jate s accurate Mr. Curtis ; its 
Inflorescence differs ma aterially Wen the dl Agta, not being 
a Fascieulus formed of a Spike pand down, but a Panicle; this 
appears very evident in some specimens, and is proved in all by the 
situation of pe inner Bractes, which are not solitary at the base of 
each Pedicel, but surround four or five of them together at each 
ramification of the Fasciculus
