3. ORNITHOGALUM. Linn. 
1. 0. gramineum; scapo angulato folia lineax'ia superante, floribus umbellatis, pedunculis 
erectis, perianthii laciniis ovatis acutis striatis. Bot. Mag. t. 2419. — Lilio-nax’cissus polyan-

4. ANTHERICUM. Limi. 
1. A.? plumosum; radice fasciculata, folds lineari-ensiformibus, scapo nudiusculo striato 
angulato 2-4-floro foliis triplo longiore, perianthii laciniis exterioribus glabris interioribus 
barbato-plumosis. Ruiz et Pav. FI. Per. v. 3. t. 300. f. 6. Bot. Mag. t. 3084. 
Hab. Conception. — This probably belongs rather to Thysanotus, Br. 
5. STYPANDRA. Br. 
1. S. coerulea; radice fibrosa, foliis ensiformibus subdistichis erectis scapo ramoso brevi- 
oribus, perianthii laciniis exterioribus oblongis interioribus ellipticis latioribus. — Antheri- 
cum coerideum. Ruiz et Pav. FI. Per. v. 3. t. 299. — Bermudiana, &c. Feuill! Chil. v. 2. t. 8. 
Hab. Conception. — Mr. Brown, in liis Prodi’omus FI. Nov. Holl. p. 279, first suggested that this species, 
as also the Anthericum coarctatum of the Flora Peruviana, was referable to Stypandra.

1. LUZULA. DC. 
1. L. interrupta; culmo parce folioso, foliis planis latiusculis nervosis, panicula racemoso- 
spicata recta, floribus fuscis, capitulis oblongis, bracteis ovatis acuminatis membranaceis 
fimbriato-ciliatis, perianthii laciniis exterioribus ovatis interioribus brevioribus latioribus 
aristato-acuminatis capsulam subrotundam obtusam paulo superantibus. — Desv. Journ. Bot. 
p. 163. t. Q. f. 4.? R(£7n. et Schul. Syst. v. 7. p. 261. 
Hab. Conception. — La Harpe unites this with L. racemosa, Desv. perhaps correctly, but we are not 
quite certain that ours is the plant intended by Desvaux: it is, however, that which Roemer and Schultes 
(1. c.) have described from Chili, as seen in the Herbarium of Martius. The panicle consists of dense 
racemose spikelets, one of which, at a distance from the others, arises from the axil of the upper leaf.

1. SCIRPUS. Linn. 
1. (S', minimus; annuus, spica subglobosa subsolitaria laterali, culmo angulato foliisque 
capillaribus, achenio acuto triquetro densissime impresso-punctato, setis hypogynis 3. Vahl, 
Enum. 2. p. 253. 
Hab. Conception. — This seems to agree exactly with Vahl’s plant. 
2. (S. longifolius; radice repente, culmo folioso triquetro, foliis angustis acute carinatis 
spongiosis culmum superantibus, spiculis 4-5 glomeratis subsessilibus lateralibus, glumis 
emarginatis mucronatis, setis hypogynis 3, stylo 3-fido. 
Hab. Conception. — Very similar to S. mucronatus; but the leaves are much longer. The bracteas are 
oblong and scariose, and furnished with a dorsal nerve that becomes a long triquetrous mucro. The glumes 
resemble the bracteas, but the mucro is shorter.
