This common species varies from 8 to 18 inches in height: in the large hill specimens the vagine are often very hirsute ! it 
is then Anilema terminale of Wight. 
Anilema radicans and Anilema diversifolium of Hasskarl described in Plantw Junghuhniane pp. 142-144, which T formerly 
reduced to the present species, appear now to haye been abandoned by their author. But Dr. Hasskarl still keeps up A. foliosum as dis- 
tinct. I possess no authentic specimen of this but it is fully described in Plante Junghuhnianw and must be the present A. nudiflorum 
if words can ever be trusted.
