22. A. Govanianum, Wall. Gat. 5071 ; leaves many basal sub- 

 distichous linear flat obtuse about equalling the acutely angled scape, tip 

 rounded, head many-fld., pedicels equalling or exceeding the white stellate 

 flowers, sepals narrow at length reflexed, filaments very short perigynous 

 subulate included bases dilated connate. Baker in Journ. Sot. 1874, 293 ;

TEMPEBATE HIMALAYA ; from Kuinaon westwards, alt. 8-12,000 ft. 



Bulbs and foliage as in A. odoriim, from which it differs in the acutely angled 

 scape, in the larger flowers with narrower sepals ^ in. long, and much shorter 

 stamens. The name humile being quite inappropriate, except for a very dwarfed 

 state, I follow Baker in retaining Wallich's, which commemorates the discoverer 

 of the species. 



23. A. oreoprasum, Schrenk in Bull. Imp. Acad. Petersb. x. 354 ; 

 Enum. PL Nov. ii. 6 ; leaves basal narrowly linear flattish shorter than 

 the striate scape, head few- or many-fid., pedicels longer than the rosy 

 campanulate flowers, sepals oblong obovate with a recurved mucro, 

 filaments simple connate below the middle included, Ledeb. Fl. Hess. iv.

WESTERN TIBET ; Zalung-Karpo Pass, alt. 10-17,COO ft., StoUczlca (Regel). 

 DISTBIB. Soongaria, Eastern Turkestan. 



J5ulb tufted, cylindric -or elongate conic ; outer scales rigid, appressed fibres 

 strongly coarsely reticulated. Leaves 8-12 by f- in., often minutely serrulate. 

 Scape terete or somewhat 2-edged above. Head 1-1| in. diam., hemispheric, 

 6-12-fld., spathes 2, nearly as long as the pedicels which are i~f in., tips 

 thickened. Sepals %-$ in. long, midrib dark. Filaments inserted much above 

 the bases of the sepals, shorter than these, all connate at the base, outer 

 narrowly subulate, inner broadly subulate -lanceolate. Ovary globose, trigonous; 

 style short, stigma capitate. Described from Turkestan specimens, I have seen no 

 Indian. 



24. A. Clarkei. Hook. f. ; leaves very many subbasal erect very 

 narrowly linear or filiform shorter than the slender scape, head lax-fid., 

 pedicels much longer than the stellate white flowers, filaments hardly as 

 long as the linear-oblong acuminate sepals, inner broadly oblong obtusely- 

 toothed below the middle. 



KASHMIR at Skardo, alt. 7-11,000 ft., Clarice. 



Eulb small, ovoid, 1 in., outer scales closely finely reticulated, pale. Leaves 

 4-8, 6-12 by ^-i in., obtuse, flat. Scape 12-18 in., terete ; head 1-H in. diam. ; 

 spathes 2 one or both as long as the pedicels or shorter ; pedicels ^-f in. Sepals 

 i in., acuminate ; filaments inserted near their bases, anthers large. Ovary sub- 

 globose ; style included. Capsule broadly obcordate, in. diam. Habit of A. 

 tuberosum. 



SECT. III. MOLIUM. Bulls not seated on a rootstock. Leaves flat or 

 keeled. Spathes shorter than the head. 



25. A. atropurpureum, Waldst. fy Kit. PI. Ear. Hung. i. 16, 1. 17 ; 

 leaves 2-3 basal narrowly linear-oblong or lanceolate shorter than the 

 tall erect terete fistular scape, head large very many and dense-fld., 

 pedicels much longer than the rose-purple stellate flowers, filaments 

 subulate about equalling the linear-oblong or- lanceolate sepals, base of 

 ovary 3-foveolate. Eegel All. Monogr. 247. Don Monogr. AIL 90; Kunth
