A. campanulatum but is quite different from what the writer 
supposes is that plant. 
45. A.madidum Wats. Proc. A. A.14 228. Delicate plants 
about 4’ high; bulbs close to the surface, ovate, less than 6” long, 
oblique, ascending, propagating by many little purple bulblets 
clustered around the base, which are without stalks; coats few 
aud thin, reticalations narrowly oblong above and quite irregular 
and diamond-shaped to irregular iower down, but in the middle 
of the coat they are much contorted and about the sameas in the 
following species, except that the outer coats are not so conspicu- 
ously fibrous as they decay; leaves 2, about as long as the 
peduneles; bracts 2. very broadly ovate and acute; flowering 
pedicels concealed within the bracts, fruiting pedicels about 4” 
long; flowers white or nearly so; sepals oblong-ovate and barely 
acute to oblong-lanceolate and acute, 2-3” long; stamens a little 
over half the sepals; ovary crestless when dry, but fresh speci- 
ineus from Cusick, No. 251la, have the edge of each cell from 
hear the base to tip covered with a broad, raised, spongy, flat- 
topped erest which runs around the entire cell the same as in A. 
tribracteatum var. Diehlii. This species was confused with A. 
Douglasii by Watson for the leaf characters were drawn from 
that species and also the scape as well as a part of the bulb 
character. This has also been distributed by Mr. Cusick as A. 
macrum and collinum, and can be separated from them with 
difficulty. It grows in wet places in eastern Oregon, in small 
clusters, and blooms in May and June. 
46. A. collinum,Dougl. Wats. Proc. A.A. 14 228. Slender 
and delicate plants, like the last in leaves, scape, color of flow- 
ers, pedicels, bracts, ovary andstamens; the outer sepals ovate and 
acute, about 2” long, the inner lanceolate and much narrower; 
bulbs nearly spherical, without bulblets, propagating by division, 
with seyeral very thin coats which appear as if fibrous because 
the walls of the meshes have lost the hyaline interspaces, but 
meshes not diamond-shaped; reticulations very fine and very 
narrow, very much contorted and appearing as if in nests, the
