in 1802 from a plant from Cuba, which flowered in the Botanic Garden 
at Madrid, and has not been heard of since. It isa very distinct species, 
nearly allied to A. yuccefolia, with about 20 oblong-lanceolate leaves 
in a 
n acaulescent tuft, which are bright green, 2 feet long, nearly 
3 inches broad at the middle, with a small non-pungent end-spine and 
very close minute greenish-white aE teeth. In the La Mortola 
plant the peduncle and bracts were just like those of yucce/folia, the 
spike 3-4 t long, and the oblong capsule an inch long, dehiscing 
loculicidally to the base. 
Genus FURCRAEA, Vent. 
F gigantea, Vent. The typical form is quite at home at La Mor Aue 
a few irregular teeth about the middle of the blade. I did not see 
F. cubensis or any of its allies anywhere on the Riviera, except young 
plants just received at La Mortola from Kew 
F. pubescens, Todaro. Seen at La Mortola in a young stat 
F. Bedinghausii, K. Koch. Frequent in the Riviera pien from 
Hyères to Genoa, The caudex is always short, the leaves 9 a length 
of 4 feet, and are seems ee glaucous and scabrous on the 
under surface. I saw it in flower in two gardens at Mentone, producing 
or ang: bulbillæ. At Hyères it was labelled norig regia. I do not 
think F. Roezlii, André, can be a distinct specie 
Genus DORYANTHES, Correa. 
D. excelsa, Correa. Is grown at La Mortola and elsewhere in the 
open air, but I do not think it has ever flowered. 
Genus EETA Kunth. 
Order LILIACEZ. 
Genus YUCCA, Linn. 
Y. aloifolia, Linn. Common all along the Riviera, flowering and 
fruiting freely. The typical form has ain 6 or 8 feet long, green 
rigid ensiform leaves, 1} feet long, 1} inches broad at the middle, with a 
pungent point, a chann elled face and a very scabrous margin, a short 
peduncle, a rhomboid iate 14-2 feet long, and glossy bright red- 
brown indehiscent oblong fleshy fruits, 25-3 inches long, 1} inches 
diamete 
r. guatemalensis, Baker. Thisis one of the commonest species along 
the whole Riviera, in a great variety of forms, and I had the opportunity 
founded upon a figure thamensis ” of Dillenius. It 
gets up to a height of 15 or 20 feet, glemman branching from low
