VII Atoe Yucccefoliis of Sloane, Cat. p. 118 in part 

 = Henequen of Ouiedo 

 = Pdtfa s^< Metl lenmimum of Hernandez 



(Ant.Recch.p. 275) 



Native country unknown, cultivated and natural- 

 ized in the Caribean region ; perhaps = 

 A. sisalana, Perrine. 



VIII. Quetzalychitl quern alii Metl Pitae vacant. (Hernandez 

 1.0.) 



Native country unknown, cultivated in Central 

 America. If this was a Euagave it is 

 possibly = our A. Wightii. 

 *IX. A. Keratto Miller (not of Salm-Dyck). 



Native or naturalized in the island of St. Christo- 

 pher. 



(We have excluded from this list of Agaves all forms that 

 we refer to Furcrsea as also a few the identity of which 

 is at present hopelessly involved and douhtful.) 



FurcraBa 



1. P. gigantea Vent. 



Native country unknown ; cult, and naturalized 

 from Central America and the Caribean region 

 to Northern Brazil. 



2. F. Commelynii Salm-Dyck 



= Aloe amerioana ti/berosa minor of Comrn. Hort. 



Amst. 2 f. 19 (f. Salm-Dyok) (v. Kmth. 



Enum. v. 8^2). 

 Native country doubtful. 



3. F. tuberosa, Ait. 



=: Agave tuberosa, Mill. (excl. A. Commelynii 

 /. Salm-Dyek} native or cultivated and natu- 

 ralized (?) in West Indian Islands. 



4. F. cubensis, Vent. 



= Agave culensis Jacq. (also Willd.} 

 = Agave mexicana, Lam. 



Native country unknown ; naturalized in the 



Caribean region and introduced in S. America. 



It thus appears that with scanty exceptions the original 



home of these forms of Agaveae is not satisfactorily established, 



* Agavf rigida, Miller is excluded, as its identity is altogether doubtful.
