Descr. var. |3. Bulb conical, oblique, covered with a fibrous 

 bristly coat. Radical leaves linear, acutely keeled at the back, 

 not quite the length of the scape, which is nearly rounded, 

 smooth, erect, generally furnished with two leaves towards 

 the base, only half the length of the scape. Flowers white 

 in a rather lax umbel, frequently proliferous, scent sweetish, 

 and slightly alliaceous. Lacinice of the corolla erect : internal 

 ones longer, narrower, and more spreading than the outer. 

 Filaments equal, all broad at the base and sharp-pointed, 

 shorter than corolla, white, inserted into a fleshy receptacle, 

 and connate with the base of the petal and with one another. 

 Anthers yellow. Germen white, somewhat rugose, six- 

 cleft at the apex : style erect, shorter than the stamens : 

 stigma simple, acute. The plant when bruised has a rank 

 gariick-like smell
