T. gracile. Lindley, |. c., called attention to the differences be- 
tween his species and the A. plumosum of Hooker figured in Bot. 
Mag. 3084 (1831), and proposed for Hooker’s plant the name 
T. stellatum. Apparently this is the commoner species and may be 
distinguished readily from T. plumosum by the acute linear- 
oblong perianth segments. Bottionea thysanothoides Colla, Mem. 
Acad. Torin. xxxvii. 45. t. 1 (1834), is evidently the same as 7’. 
stellatum. But whatever disposition eventually may be made of 
these several plants the earliest available name is that of Ruiz & 
Pavon cited above.

Pollard, |. c., pointed out that Rafinesque first named this plant. 
The above new combination is necessary, however, because the 
generic name Schoenolirion is included in the list of nomina con- 
servanda validated at Vienna. This genus is confined to the south- 
eastern United States. Some botanists have considered two plants 
Which grow in northern California and Oregon as congeneric but 
now that the seeds of these are known there is no doubt as to the 
validity of Watson’s genus Hastingsia. Besides the points of 
difference which Watson notes as existing between Hastingsia and 
Schoenolirion there is a very definite difference in the character of 
seeds, those of the latter genus being smooth and highly polished 
while those of Hastingsia are rugulose and dull.

38: 122 (1908), has shown that Bowiea Haw. is distinct and not 
to be merged in Aloe as has been done by Baker and others. He 
erred, however, in renaming Haworth’s genus since, according
