in the descriptions and illustrations of the following species I 

 find some information as to the shape of the bulbils. 



Furcraea cubensis Jacquin 1763 p. 100, tab. 175, fig. 28 shows a 

 terete, bulb-like bulbil, and in the text it is also 

 described in this manner. 



Cabuja Trelease 1910 Taf. 37. Terete, bulb-like bulbils. 

 elegans Todaro. In the description in Hortus Panormi- 



tanus nothing is said about the shape of the bulbils. 

 gigantea Vent. Some material in the Botanical Museum 



of Copenhagen, determined by W. Trelease, shows 



terete, bulb-like bulbils. 

 macrophylla Hook. Trelease 1910 Taf. 37. The bulbils 



terete, bulb-like. 

 Selloa K. Koch. Bot. Mag. tab. 6148 distinct terete 



bulbils. 



tuberosa Ait. Some material in the Botanical Museum 

 of Copenhagen (det. W. Trelease) shows terete, 

 bulb-like bulbils. Concerning F. lipsiensis (fide 

 Drummond = F. tuberosa Ait.) Jacobi 1869 p. 169 

 says, that the bulbils resembles "Gartenzwiebeln". 



undulata Jacobi. To judge from Bot. Mag. 6160 and 

 7250, these both represent the same species (fide 

 Drummond), the bulbils are terete also in this 

 species.
