crest at the tip of each cell. Found on Mount Diablo, Western 
California. 
14. A. falcifolium H. & A. Bot. Beech. 400. This differs 
from Cusickii in being about half as high, with attenuate and 
spreading sepals which are glandular serrulate, and capsule with 
3, short, narrow, central crests. This is, probably, the only 
valid species and occurs in the Coast Range from Sonoma to 
Humboldt County, Calif. 
15. A. parvum Kell. Proc. Cal. Acad. 3 54. Bulbs white, 
scales very thin, apparently not double, very base of scales 
sometimes with markings of var. Bruce; scapes scarcely rising 
above the ground; bracts short, broadly ovate, not as long as 
pedicels, barely acute; flowers normally deep red; leaves very 
long and linear, about 1” wide; pedicels short and flowers almost 
capitate; sepals oblong, obtuse, always with a dark midrib, about 
4” long; ovary with obscure crest-like ridges. Common on the 
Eastern side of the Sierras in the vicinity of Reno, Nevada. 
April and May. 
16. Var. Brucae n. var. Leaf1, sheathing; pedicels 4-6” 
long; sepals paler, 4” long; ovary crestless; filaments two-thirds 
the sepals, broad and flattened below, tapering; bracts sharply 
acute; outer bulb scales distinctly marked with the meshes of A. 
tribracteatum nearly, but vertical instead of horizontal. No.

tions, which run from nearly hexagonal to transversely 
linear. 
17. A. Lemmoni Wats. Proc. A. A. 14 234, differs from A. 
Cusickii only in segments being ovate-lanceolate, gibbous, a 
little longer than the stamens; ovary cells with broad, obscure 
crests on each side and reticulated bulb scales. Found in the 
Sierras. To this probably belong the specimens collected by the 
writer at Eagle Lake, north of Susanville, Calif., No. 6666, in
