It is probable, could we see the two plants in a recent state, 

 that characters would appear by which this might be specifically 

 distinguished from the E. Indian D. lunata. My specimens from 

 Nepal, given nic by Dr. Wallich, are much smaller and pro- 

 portionally slenderer with leaves and flowers not half the size. 

 The perfect specimens of our plant are furnished with a tuber 

 at the root like that oi Bunium fiemiosum.
