This species resembles Zygadenus clegans Pursh { = Z. rjlaucus Nutt.) of 

 the North-America, but the flower is smaller, the leaves are narrower and 

 not glaucous, the stem is lower, and the pedicel is shorter. The bracts 

 closely resemble those of Helonias rjlaberrima Sims Bot. Mag. tab. 1680, 

 which is referred to Zygadenus Fremontl Torr. in Index Kewensis, and to 

 Anticlea glauca Kuntli ( = Z. glaucus Kutt.) by Kunth in his Enum. PI. 

 IV. p. 192. It apparently differs from Zygadenus sibiricus (Linn.) Gray, 

 an Asiatic species. This genus is new to the Flora of Japan.
