Feptited species. 



A. CAMPANOLiEFLOEUJvr, Geycr. Published without a description. No authentic specimens in our 

 herbariums. 



A. MARITINUM, Benth. (Hesjperoscordum ?, Torr.) With perennial solid bulbs, many-ovuled cells, 

 and slightly united sepals, is better referred to Milla. See page 354, 



A. CEOCBCM, Torr. Bot. Mex. Bound. 218. With "solid bulbs," jointed pedicels, orange-yellow flow- 

 ers, and filaments appendaged at base, is the same as Bloomeria aurea, Kellogg, Proo. Calif. Acad. 1. 11 

 and is hardly an Allium. It should, perhaps, also be referred, like Calliprora, to Milla.

Mr. J G. Baker m his " Eevision of the Genera and Species of herbaceous capsular gamophvlloua 

 Lihace^," in Jour Lin. Soc., Vol. XI, pp. 349-436, (1870,) divides the Suborder of true UUacem, (having a 

 3-celled capsular fruit and connate styles,) into two series, one with the segments of the perianth free to 

 the very base, the other having them united for at least the lower third or quarter of their len-th Of 

 the SIX tribes into which he subdivides this last series, and which include 26 genera and 220 speties the
