Notwithstanding the great size of the Nipal, Kamaon and Prome plants, which have been described above, I hesitate 
not to consider them as belonging to one and the same species as the specimens from the Peninsula of India preserved 
in the Honourable Company's herbaria under my charge. I suspect that Roth's Melanthium racemosum and caricinum 
are not specifically distinct from our plant.

This neat plant approaches closely to Allium carolinianum of Redouté ; but I apprehend it is sufficiently distinct to 
warrant my separating it from that species.
