probably. It is hardly probable that either Watson or Douglas 
would have overlooked the conspicuous bulb coats of this plant, 
it is therefore more than likely that this is a distinet speciesand 
in that case may bear the name of A. fibrillum n. sp. 
A3B2C2D2E2F, Leat 1, very much longer than the scape and 
spirally hooked at the end; bulbs propagating by the 
production of little half-moon-shaped to ovate, nearly 
white, bulblets from the lower edge, which often hare 
little runners with 1 or more enlargements at short dis- 
tances apart. :

bulb ovate, about 9” long, with several brown coats, having 
much the habit of A. atrorubens, but flowers generally white or 
rose-colored; peduncle scarcely rising above the ground; leaves 
often 6’ long, leathery, but always narrow; bracts generally 2, 
ovate and acute, about 6” long; pedicels 1’ or less in length; 
sepals lanceolate from a broad base and jong acuminate to 
oblong-ovate and acute, 3-4’ long;stamens two-thirds the sepals, 
deltoid-dilated at base; oyary very long-crested; reticulations of 
the bulb coats very irregular, from linear and almost straight 
to seyeral angled, the vertical lines which join the ends of the 
cells are easily traceable in contorted lines running vertically, 
except rarely in the middle of some coats. Common from north- 
ern Arizona through the Sevier valley of Uteh to Salt Lake city 
and westward to the Sierra Nevadas. Blooms in May. 

ASB3C. Reticulations from transt ersely rectangular to very 
irregular, the walls always minutely to conspicuously 
scroll-like between the angles of the meshes,
