What is probably the same is amongst the unpublished drawings at the British 

 Museum made from the Syrhagen Garden in 1720, under the name of "Aloe 

 pita foliis non spinosis." My description of the typical form refers to the plant 

 as commonly grown in English and Belgian Gardens. The little-known A. 

 angustifolia Haworth is probably a form of this species. We have received 

 it lately in flower from Demerara and Central Madagascar. We have a photo- 

 graph from Dr. Todaro of a plant in flower which is probably sisalana grown as 

 A. brevis at the Palermo Garden.

Hab. Mexico, introduced by Koezl. Named after Mr. Corderoy by De Smet, 

 from whose establishment at Ledeberg-lez-Gand, in Belgium, a great many of 

 the plants in the Saunders and Peacock collections were purchased.

 rigid, 15-18 in. long, the dilated base 3-3^ in. broad, narrowed

 Mower 1-| in. long ; tube short, subcylindrical ; segments narrow, 

 yellow, i in. long, Stamens twice as long as the segments. 

 Capsule oblong, 1-1| in. long. 



^ Hab. Central mountains of Lower California, alt. 6000 ft., Orcuttl De- 

 scribed from a dried specimen sent to Kew by Mr. C. G. Pringle. We have a 

 specimen of an allied plant that flowered with Mr. J. T. Peacock in 1881, that 

 was labelled A. scaherrima. 



68. A. [Euagave) excelsa Jacobi, Monogr. 238. — Shortly 

 caulescent. Leaves about 30 in a rosette, ensiform, rigid, 2 ft.

 Garden in August, 1884, by Mr. Bullen. 



69. A. Eegeliana Jacobi, Monogr. 236. — Acaulescent. Leaves 

 oblanceolate, 1^ ft. long, 2f in. broad above the middle, narrowed

Hab. Mexico. Described by Jacobi in 1865, from a plant shown by 

 Messrs. Glynn, of Utrecht, at the Amsterdam Exhibition. I cannot clearly 

 separate A. ananassoides De Jonghe and Jacobi, Nacht. 32, of which we have a 

 photograph in the Elemeet series. The plant which usually does duty under 

 the name of Regeliana in gardens is A. horrida Lemaire. 



70. A. [Euagave) miradorensis Jacobi, Nacht. 31. — Acaulescent.
