ON NEW AND LITTLE-KNOWN CAPSULAR 
GAMOPHYLLOUS LILIACEZ. 
By J. G. Baxer, F.L.S. 
aie oucH the kindness of M. Alphonse De Candolle I have been 
wed this autumn the loan of the Liliaceous portion of his herbarium 
for 1 beisarely ox xamination and comparison. e capsular gamophyllous 
includes several new species, and resets examples of some 
others, which, for want of fuller information, were misunderstood or 
treated imperfectly in in my paper on the group in vol. xi. of the 
‘Journal of the Linnean Society,” p. 349. I give, therefore, now 
descriptions of these pies along with those of a gm derived from 
-other sources, and a running commentary on the paper pp anpeons 
i i have re- 
as they stand in the original paper, and I number the adde

logue, ” so that they may be readily fitted into their proper places in

has suggested that Hesperocallidee would be a more euphonious name 
for tribe 6 than Odontostemonea.

- K. Macowant, Baker, n.sp.—Folia rigidissima omnium, 12-18 
tis longa , Supra basin 13-2 lin. lata, venis utrinque costam 2-3 
valde exsculptis, marginibus distincte denticulatis. Scapus foliis 
subsequilongus. Racemus densissimus 3-4 pollicaris, Saal 18-21 
. crassu 
. In graminosis clivis Montis Boschberg, alt. 4500 pedes. Mac- 
Owan, 1536! A most distinct species, easily recognisable by the 
ure, strong veins, and distinct denticulations of its rigid leaves. Mr. 
MacOwan has gathered it in quantity, and I hope will soon introduce 
it = cultivation.
