Baker, in his latest re-vision of Brodisea, still furtherenlarges the genus by includingsome species of South American(X M ) bulbs heretofore separated under Milla and Triteleia. Brodia-a, asthus outlined, includes Hookera, Triteleia, Milla, Calli-prora and Hesperoscordum. For horticultural purposes,it is better and more convenient to merge all into Bro-disea. In this broad sense Brodisea includes about 30species, which must be divided into several species differ so widely in every way that culturaldirections must follow the group. For B. volubilis. II.
