aphylla vaginante basi carnosa, folio amplexo 1 et 

 squama crasse carnosa a folii basi circumdata caulis 

 anno sequente florituri. — Bulbi specierum Junonis 

 vero e squamis tenuius carnosis numerosioribus (8 in J. 

 caucasica, 3 in J. Xiphio L.) componuntur, quae in J. 

 caucasica aphyllae, integrae, in J. Xiphio apice fibro- 

 sae, interiores olim foliiferae, extimae olim vaginigerae 

 erant. Caulis florifer, etiam in utraque centralis, latere 

 ad basin gignit gemmas 1 v. 2 innovantes, e suis squa- 

 mis propriis pluribus constantes, post emaciationem 

 bulbi matris liberatas. 



Ita in omnibus XipMis axis primaria floret.

 cavis (J. reticulata), mox plana canaliculata cauli pa- 

 rallela v. complicata cauli contraria, falcatorecurva (J. 

 persica\ AucJieri, caucasica) v. recta (J. XipMum, J. 

 Sisyrinchium, J. xipliioides), sed minime ensiformia. 



Capsulam J. xiphioidis vidi arete spatha inclusam,^ 

 anguste oblongam teretisubtrigonam 12-nervem, pa- 

 rietibus septisque aequalibus tenuibus membranaceis 

 pallidis opacis. Semina in loculis 2-seriata placentae 

 parum prominulae inserta, vix imbricata et vix mutua 

 pressione subangulata, fere obovoidea teretia, opaca, 

 pallida; testa laxa membranacea minute cellulosogra- 

 nulata, interna tenuis castanea arete albumen circum- 

 dans. Embryo obovoideus, vix y^ albuminis diametro.
