Dalzell states that his Anilema pauciflorum only differs from A. vaginatum in having three seeds. But A. vaginatum al- 
ways has three seeds. 
Wight figures his specimen without hairs on the filaments : he may have overlooked the hairs or they may have been sup- 
pressed : on either hypothesis there can be no doubt about so well-marked a plant and indeed Wight’s figure was taken from a Bengal 
specimen sent by Wallich.
