Schweinfurth and Ascherson (Fl. Marm. 672) indicate under 

 Allium Erdelii, Zucc, a barren specimen from Matruk collected 

 by Roth and enumerated as A. roseum, v. Tourneuxii, in their 

 Illustration de la Flore d'Egypte, p. 152. Dr. Hume's specimen 

 is in flower, and there can be no doubt about its identity with the 

 original of Boissier's variety Tourneuxii.
