Perennial. Juli/. 



Bulb roundish, pale. Stem 3 feet high, its lower half clothed with 

 several flat, bluntish, rather succulent, solid leaves, not l-4th of 

 an inch broad ; which are concave on the upper side ; convex 

 and somewhat keeled at the back ; thickened and roughish at 

 their edges ; their sheaths very long, and ribbed. Umbel rather 

 loose when in full flower, the stalks considerably elongated, and 

 Kpreading in all directions, being forced asunder at the base by 

 the numerous bulbs interspersed among them. Bracteas 2, un- 

 equal, each tapering to a not very acute point, and one or both 

 considerably longer than the umbel. Fl. of a dull yellow, speckled 

 with brown. Petals with a smooth brown keel. Filaments awl- 

 shaped, connected by a membranous base ; three of them earlier 

 than the rest. Germ, elliptical, with 6 furrows. .S7?//e very short. 

 Stigma blunt. From cultivated sjiecimens. The seeds are seldom 

 perfected, but the bulbs of the umbel propagate the plant abun- 

 dantly. 



Tliis species is nearly related to the following, though differing in 

 the flatter form of its leaves, and somewhat in size. I have doubts 

 of their being essentially distinct.
