Asparagus terminalis Linn. Sp. PI. ed. 2 (1762) 450. 
Taetsia terminalis W. F. Wight ex Salford in Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb.

Polynesia. 
SANSEVI ERI A Thunberg

Cultivated for ornamental purposes, fide Safford. 
Probably a native of Africa, now cultivated in all tropical countries. 
(The common asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis Linn.) is represented 
in the collections by a single specimen, G. E. S. 116, from recently intro- 
duced and cultivated plants.) 
AMARYLLIDACEAE 
AGAVE Linnaeus 
AGAVE VI Vi PARA Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 323; Salford 176. 
McGregor 576 (leaf only), G. E. S. -4 73 (bulbils only). 
I have followed W. F. Wight in the determination of the Guam plant 
as Agave vivipara Linn., but at the same time it appears also, from my 
fragmentary material, to be quite the same as Agave cantala Roxb. In- 
troduced from Mexico. 
CRINUM Linnaeus 
CRINUM ASIATICUM Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 292; Safford 251. 
McGregor 637, along the seashore.

region.

I suspect that this is the species reported by Safford (page 295), as 
Hypoxis aurea Lour.
