Bentham & Hooker restrict the genus; Milla (as Cavanilles, its author, intended) to one species, J/, biflora. From Brodiffia the genus differs in the fact that the pedicels are not jointed and the peri- anth segments are always 3-nerved. Milla and Broditea are native to the northern half of the western hemi- sphere. In South America is the genus Triteleia, which is by some referred to Milla, by others to Brodifea ind bv still others kept distinct. There is one Tritelei-i f u'niflora) in commou cultivation. In his monograph (Journ Linn. Soc. 11, p. 378), Baker refers the Tiite leias to Milla, and this disposition is followed by Index Kewensis, but in a later account ( III. 20 p 4o9) he refers them to Brodiffia. Watson (Proc. Amer Acad Arts. & Sci. 9, p. 240) restricts Milla to one species The North American plants which have been referred to Triteleia are perhaps best treated as Brodiseas and they are so considered in the account of that genus in Vol. I of this work. The South American Triteleiis are described under that genus in Vol. IV.
