L_ jj_ B_ BBAVOA (Bravo, Mexican botanist). Amaryllid&cece. A small genus, much resembling in some of its species the tuberose (Folianthes), and considered by the writer as hardly distinct from it. Stems slender, from small thickened rootstocks: Ivs. mostly basal: inflorescence a lax spike or raceme; fls. always in pairs more or less bent or curved ; stamens 6, included within the peri- the flowers are not as showy as the common tuberose, yet the genus should be found in every choice bulb col- lection.
