7. Allium sabulicola Osterhout, Bull. Torrey Club 27: 539. 1900.

Our plants all agree in having several whitish ovoid bulblets, ovate acuminate 

 sepals, and reticulated bulbs, but they are in every case much larger plants than the 

 original description indicates. They are certainly not A. rubrum Osterhout and we 

 do not believe that Nelson 1 is right in reducing them to A. nuttallii.
