APPENDIX D. BOTANY. 397 



Allium stellatum, Fraser, Bot. Mag. t. 15*70. — Weber River, 

 May 23. 



A. reticulatum, Fraser, Bot. Mag. t. 1840. — Wahsateh Mount- 

 ains, June. 



Calochortus luteus, Nutt. in Jour. Acad. Tliil. 7, p. 53 ; 

 probably not of Douglass. — Valley of Salt Lake. The root is called 

 " sego" by the natives, and is much esteemed by them as food. 

 It is bulbous, and varies in size from that of a pea to that of a 

 filbert. Our plant agrees exactly with the description of Nuttall, 

 who was probably mistaken as to the colour of the flower. The 

 inner sepals seem to be white, except at the claw, which is yellow. 

 I have not been able to institute a comparison between this plant 

 and Douglass's C. luteus; but if ours proves to be distinct, it may 

 be called C. Nuttallii.

 shorter point of the achenium ; but in other respects it agrees.
