NOTES 359 
Zacharias, Director of the Botanic Garden, Hamburg. It 
flowered in summer, 1909, and produced many bulbils. Many of 
these bulbils, while still remaining on the mother plant, in 1910 
formed little inflorescences a foot or more long, each carrying 
several flowers. 
A, Franzosini. 
Next to A. Salmiana the tallest species, with beautiful greyish 
white or bluish leaves, and called by Prof. Baker ‘‘ The Prince of 
the Agaves.” It was introduced at La Mortola about 1878, and 
flowered for the first time in 1889. 
A, Friderici.* 
This very curious and elegant species was received from some 
garden as A. Vera-Cruz. It belongs to the ‘‘ Americane”’ section 
and is one of the taller species. It is remarkable in having the 
leaves very irregularly toothed and partly unarmed. 
A. Funkiana. 
This is an old inhabitant of our garden. Although closely 
related to A. lophantha, it is in leaf characters quite distinct, and 
agrees perfectly with Jacobi’s description and photograph. 
A. gemniflora. 
This species has leaves with fibrous margins. See also note 
under A. Knightiana. 
A, Hanburyt. 
This was named by Prof. Baker during his visit to La Mortola 
in November, 1891. The plant consists of a single rosette, which 
so far has not produced any sucker and has not grown much since 
1897. Below? I give a description of the plant as it is at present ; 
as will be seen, this description differs in some respects from that 
given by Prof. Baker.
