29 Cyanastracee”: Related to the Hemodoracex and Potentedriacess. 
30 Philydracee”: Related to the Pontederiacew and Commelinaces. 
Series LX. Liliifloree 
31 Juncacere”: This family is somewhat near the Graminew and Cype- 
races in the vegetative organs; but, is closely related to the Liliacew in 
its floral structure. It also resembles the Restionacee. 
32 Stemonacez: ‘These are closely related to the Liliaceew through 
an intermediate form of Majanthemum, a genus of the latter family. 
33 Liliacem”: Closely resemble the Juncacez, through the Lomandres 
which have the characteristic perianth of the latter family. They also come 
quite close to the Amaryllidacez. 
34 Heemodoracem”: Closely related to the Liliaceee and Amaryllidacex 
and-also to the Iridacexz in the single staminal whorl. All the plants in my 
index under this family belong to the Liliacez, according to the determination 
of the two families given in ENaiEr’s ‘ Pflanzenfamilien ’. 
35 Amaryllidacee”: This family is closely connected with the Liliacex, 
as can be seen from several facts e. g. that the Asphodeloides, a tribe of the 
latter family, have a spirally arranged inflorescence like the Amaryllidoidex, 
that Similax (Liliacee) has many stamens like Gethyllis (Amaryllidaces), and 
that the Gilliesiewe (Lili) have a paracorolla, which is the characteristic of the 
Narcisseze (Amaryllidacee). Besides, the Amaryllidacee bear some resemblance 
to the Heemodoracez, Lridacese, Taccacex and Dioscoreaceze. They also approach 
the Velloziacere, as can be seen in a comparison of Gethyllis and Vellozia. 
36 Velloziacee”: If importance is attached to such characters as the 
placenta and the numerous stamens, it should stand as a special family. But, 
if little or no notice is taken of the said characters, it should be included in 
the Amaryllidaces or in the Heemodoracer as may seem best. 
37 Taccacee”: These are related to the Amaryllidacem, especially to the 
Hypoxidoidess of the latter family, in the one-celled ovary. Besides, a rather
