m n . Conception.—One other species, L . ixioides, {Brodima ixioides, Bot. Mag. t. 2382,) is knou'u.
Allied to this genus is Tnteleia, Hook. In it, however, there are six fertile stamens, a pedunculated ovarium,
with which the style is continuous, and three stigmas: of three species mentioned by Mr. Lindley one
T . bivalvis, is from Chili. ’

H ab. Conception.—La Hai-pc unites this ivith L . racemosa, Desv. perhaps correctly, but we are not
quite cei-tain that ours is the plant intended by Desvaux: it is, however, that which Rcemer 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.

H ab. 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

H ab. Conception.—Very similar to S. mucronatus; but tbe leaves are much longer. The bractea.« are
oblong and scariose, aud furnished with a dorsal nerve that becomes a long triquetrous mucro. Tlie glumes
resemble the bracteas, but the mucro is shorter.
