2-cuspidated. Cepa T. though very similar in its Fruit to Porrum 
has Filaments confluent into a little saucer and totally different 
Habit, both Leaves and Stem being round and inflated. sthyllodolon 
next is so very like Cepa in its Leaves and Stem that I am loth to 
dissever them ; yet they differ materially, the Petals of the former 
being gnawed and tic at their point; Filaments hardly at all 
bum and it has a totally different Inflorescence consisting of a 
mp Hea d, the upper Pedicels flowering down gradually from the 
os to the bottom without any partial Bractes to each. Cama ie 
has hypogynous Filaments inserted quite distinct from each other 
the Receptacle, and is remarkable for the sinusses of it ueni

being vaulted ic arch over the melliferous Pores 
in Porrum are by a truncated Membrane. Schenissa is 
an alpine Genus, with oblong Bulbs growing close together in large 
patches ; more or less cylindrical like those of Juncus, 
d its ry ; the sinusses of its Pericarpium are a 
r; its Pe 
dicels all nearly of equal length. Hylogeton is the pet Un of the 
Order yet known with caducous Petals; my name alludes to the 
groves and thickets which this beautiful vernal Plant inhabits, ne 
if bruised or even slightly trodden upon, its abominable effluvi 
fill the whole vi ue Molyza is distinguished by its bright titio 
stellated Petals, becoming rather larger than pallor as they fade, 
and finally hard as parchment round the ripe Fruit. In Canidia, so 
the Petals also become hard 
and tough at last; and the í dissepiments of its Pericarpium are very 
broad; being the only Genus of the Order yet known to me with 
in each Cell, I formerly placed it after Oligosmec, but 
imili elo: 
narrow Filaments inserted in two series, and arillated Seeds; its 
Leaves are so sharply keeled as de appear triangular like those of 
Carex, and its Peduncle which is triangular soon bends down to the 
ground from the weight of its Fruits.
