This plant differs from A. lineolatum by two characters which appear to go inseparably together, viz., linear Ieaves anda 
brachiate panicle. I therefore now give it specific rank as did Drs. Hk. et Th. in their distribution of herbarium Indian plants : omg 
it has nothing to do with Anilema scapiflorum as they supposed. The capsules and seeds are exceedingly like those of A. lineolatum of 
which I reckoned it a variety in my paper in the Linnean Journal, Vol. XI. Since writing that paper I have observed it growing during 
several weeks. It is usually hairy, sometimes very hairy, and again sometimes glabrous or nearly so.
