Bentham and Hooker, about four species, broadly dis- 
persed over the North temperate regions of the Old 
World (A. aufwmnalis is a native of Britain). To those 
described on p. 29, Vol. I., the following should be added:

fifty, rather longer than the sepals. February. J., cauline ones

Pironneava, and Pothuava. It now embraces about 130 
species, natives of tropical America. The flowers are
