155. Buib coats gray, meshes narrowly linear and much con- 
torted; leaves several; peduncles about 1° high; the 2 bracts not 
opening below except on one side; pedicels rather few, about 1’ 
long; sepals broad, 2-44” long, acute, broadly lanceolate to ovate, 
inuer somewhat narrower, half longer than the stamens; ovary 
said to be not crested. Eldorado Co., Calif., to Encenada, Lower 
Calif. This may be only a delicate form of A. attenuifolium,and 
reticulations of the bulb coats are nearly the same, except the 
little waves of the latter on the horizontal lines. 
43. A. Bolanderi Wats. Proc. A. A. 14 229. Bulbs solid in 
the center, with a few outer coats, propagating by 1 or 2 very 
‘short lateral offshoots, the coats with delicate, close, undulate- 
serrate meshes; pedicels rather few; sepals colored, 4-5” long, 
very narrowly acuminate, nearly straight, double the stamens, 
inner ones strongly serrate; filaments narrow and aduate to the 
middle of the sepals; crests obscure. Humboldt Co., Calif. 
A8B2C2D2EF2G. Reticulations not horizontal but running 
obliquely downward or irregularly, sides not evidently 
parallel, though approaching it, wary or bent in irregular 
arcs but not bent tato many tortuous curves, generally 
bent in irregular arcs which toward the end of the 
meshes change their direction, most of the meshes being 
narrowly oblong in general outline. 
44. A. peninsulare Lemmon Pitt. 1 165. ‘Tall, about 1- 
13° high; pedicels about 1’ long and slender; bracts 2, narrow 
and acuminate; flowers broadly campanulate; sepals ovate, 
acutish, about 3” long, about half longer than the stamens, pink; 
capsule crestless; bulb coats several, at the top the meshes are 
narrowly rectangular and vertical but as they go down to the 
center of the coat they become loose and more irregular, till 
most of them are transversely serrate with narrow meshes. En- 
cenada, Lower Calif. A.W. Anthony No. 187, also by Parish 
No. 72. Bulbs propagating apparently by division, nearly 
globular, about 4’ long, erect. This is referred at Cambridge to
