A. GLANDULOsSUM, Link & Otto, is a species of Central and 
Northern Mexico, with dark purple flowers on slender pedicels ; ovary 
acutish, but not crested; bulbs small, globose, the white coats without 
reticulation, propagating by a scaly offshoot from the base. The 
material at hand is too scanty for a satisfactory definition of the few 
doubtful Mexican species.
