?6 KEOixyf. 



per* campanulate adpressed pauciflore, fl. co* 

 rymbose, root not bulbose 4»c. 



928. LiAiRis (Osmilis) amplexicaulis R. 

 stem grooved, leaves 5nervect obtuse, radical 

 sessile ovate elliptic, on stem ovate amplexi- 

 caule ; flowers corymbose, segments of perian- 

 the cuneate obtuse — a fine odorous sp. blended 

 with L. odoratlssima, same exquisite smell 

 like Tonga beans, but weaker bipedal, with 

 broader shorter loaves 2 or 3 inches long,many 

 smaller flowers. The true L. odoratissimum 

 has radical leaves lanceolate acute uninerve 5 

 to 10 inches long, on stem sessile short cuneate 

 or oblong, few branches uniflore, perianthe fo- 

 liose segments obovate. In Florida &> Georgia. 



929. LiATRis (Scariola) botrys R. stern an- 

 gular rough, leaves smooth scattered linear lan- 

 ceolate acute, lower longer petiolate, upper sub- 

 ulate ; flowers racemose, peduncles longer than 

 flowers somewhat scaly, bracts subulate, perian- 

 the hemispherical, segments obovate obtuse 

 margin red — a very pretty sp. of Florida and 

 Georgia, more distinctly racemose than in any 

 other, pedal lower leaves 4 to 6 inches, upper 

 uncial, raceme as long as stem multiflore, flow- 

 ers lax rather small but elegant, styles very long. 



930. LiATRis (Scariola?) unulora Raf. 

 smooth, stem angular grooved uniflore, leaves 

 rigid linear lanceolate acute sessile, the lower 

 elongate, trinerve middle nerve very thick; pe- 

 rianthe ovate base folio-e segments ovate acu- 

 minate squarrose — from Kentucky to Alabnma 

 pedal, leaves nearly imbricate the lower 5 or 6 

 inches long. Deviating from Scarhfla by sin- 

 gle flower, perhaps a subg. Iligidilis ; but 

 very akin to my L, rlgida diiTering only by 2 

 or 3 flowers, leaves scab/oLS stem pilose.
