NOTE. 
In No. 1385, we have quoted the plant reprefented in the 
work on the rarer Hungarian vegetables, by Krraisex and 
Wacostern, under the name of Attium Ampelopra/um, as 
the variety B of the Ampelopra/um given in that number; and 
__4n fo doing we have followed the editor of the new edition of 
_ the Hortus Kewenfis. But we are now convinced that it is a 
non bulbiferous variety of arenarium ;. anda freth proof of the 
fallacy of diftinguifhing the fpecies of this genus by their du/- 
~-biferous or capfuliferous umbels. Arenarium is very clofely 
allied to Ampelopra/um, but differs in being altogether a much 
{maller and flenderer plant, in the colour of the flowers and by 
the form of the fpathe and bulb. G.
