Obs. Ordo medium tenet inter Restiaceas et Asphodeleag ; 

 ab illis Embryone incluso saepiusque radicula centripe- 

 ta, et staminibus dum tribus foliolis exterioribus perian- 

 thii oppositis : ab Asphodeleis integumenti seminis peri- 

 anthiique textura, et habitu diversus.

Obs. A Junco haud separandne sint species triandrae, quia 

 invicem dissimiles habitu et capsulne dissepimentis comple- 

 tis v. semicompletis obsoletisve. Nec secernendae eae semi- 

 nibus scobiformibus, testa nempe, quae in pluribus utrin- 

 que laxa, in his valde elongata : inter se enim capsularum 

 structura pariter diversae sunt. Genus autem his charac- 

 teribus commode distribui posset in phalanges, ad quarum 

 posteriorem inter Europ^eas pertinent Juncus triglumis L. 

 biglumis L. castaneus Smith. horum omnium folia aversa 

 plus minus compressa, ideoque duplici nota Narthecio 

 Huds. conveniunt, et transitum ad Asphodeleas facilem 

 reddunt. 



1. J. maritimus, culmo nudo foliisque radicalibus teretibus, pa- 



nicula pseudolaterali corymbosa : ramis umbellatis, flori- 

 bus capitatis, involucro culmo breviore, capsulis ovalibus
