Paper slips: 'De Liliaceis et affinibus plantis'

Diagnoses of plant genera and species, now included in the Amarylllidaceae. Unfinished work, which Savage roughly dated from September 1782 to November 1783, but which was probably started when Linnaeus fil. arrived in England, in the spring of 1781. The following genera are dealt with: "Haemanthus", "Narcissus", "Pancratium", "Crinum", "Agapanthus", "Amaryllis" and "Eucomea"; followed by generic diagnoses only of "Aletris", "Veltheimia" "Hyacinthus" and "Lachenalia"; ending with a specific diagnosis of "Lilium longiflorum".
