in Bromeliaceze, to which one of Zuccarini’s original species (Hechtia 
glomerata, Klotzsch) evidently belongs. In constituting Beaucarnea, 
Lemaire proposes to regard the two genera as a subtribe of Aspara- 
or Bulbinella; the polygamous flowers recall Asparagus and Chrysobac- 
tron; the arborescent habit Yucca and Aloe; the large inflated mem- 
branous capsule that of Massonia, which, however, wants the three 
wings; whilst the articulated pedicels point to an affinity with Anthe- 
rice. , lf we take this view, we can scarcely do otherwise than look 
upon Dasylirion as Liliaceous, abnormal by its unilocular ovary ; and 
itisa matter of much interest to note that we have two genera separated 
by a character which, taking the whole set of allied plants into consi- 
deration, is of great importance, and yet in other respects connected 
so closely.

Though, in special 
to any particular difference, these differences exist, and it is very interest- 
ing to the English botanist to observe the place of some familiar British 
p. 86). Professor F. Areschoug showed me this very ornamental plant 
in flower in a pond in the new botanical garden at Lund. | It has » 
found wild only in a single locality in central Sweden, and differs from the 
well-known white water-lily only in its beautiful rose-coloured flowers.
