CARICINA.

CAREX-LEAVED HEsPERANTHA. *** *** Class and Order.

TRIANDRIA MONOGYNIA.

Generic Character. spatha 2-valvis, herbacea, majufcula, ovali-lanceolata, na- viculari convoluta.

Cor. tubus furfum paulatim ampliatus: limbus 6-partitus, regularis, firme æqualis. stig. 3, longa ef- fufa, ad tubum usque distincta.

Capf. oblonga, obtuse trigona, torulofa, membranacea.

Sem. numerosa, fere fubbaccata, ru- gofa atque e rotundis angulata.

OBS.

Bulbo-tuber campaniforme indusiis amictum putamineis modo coriaceo-lentis, modo ligneo-duris, quandoque osseis atque jugis verticalibus angulatim percursis.

Flores vesperi explicare, mane iterum se claudere ceperunt, inverso coordinatorum more, quas quoque persequuntur vices inspatium plurimarum dierum. stigmata longiora, gracilli- ma, linearia, canaliculata, laxa atque effuse projecta.

Antherae grandiores, leviter Folia appicta, interdum tremulo-incumbentes et versatiles. semina e minoribus. haud raro plano-fistulosa, inde speciem exhibentia crassam, nunquam vero videntur teretia.

G. specific Character and synonyms.

HEsPERANTHA radiata; soliis fiftulofis, deorfum vagi- nanter teretibus, exinde comprefso planis linearibus, spathis adpreffis, corollis cer- nuis limbo retroflexo.

In No. 549 of this work, we divided the genus Ixia into different fections, from the 7th of which we have since con- ftructed this genus.
