378 CXXVI. H#®MODORACEA. 
H., the only species, was discovered on the Isomo river, Caffraria, by Mr. 
Henry Bowker and Mrs. F. W. Barber, and the genus is dedicated to the 
latter in gratitude for her many discoveries of new plants in the frontier 
districts. With the foliage of Wachendorfia, it has very different flowers 
and ovary. 
Orper CXXVII. AMARYLLIDEA. 
Perianth superior, petaloid, regular or subirregular, 6- 
cleft, the outer segments overlapping the inner. Stamens 6 
(rarely more), inserted on the perianth, sometimes cohering 
by their dilated bases into a cup (or corona) ; anthers open- 
ing inwards. Ovary inferior, 3-celled; ovules rarely definite ; 
style 1; stigma 3-lobed or subentire. Fruit either a 3-celled, 
loculicidal capsule or a berry. Seeds albuminous.—Generally 
bulbous rooted plants, stemless or caulescent, with ensiform 
leaves, and handsome, liliaceous flowers. This Order differs 
from Liliacee by the inferior ovary. I here adopt Mr. Her- 
bert’s genera, but many of them have very trivial distinctive 
characters.
