 Central Asia and N. Persia. 



Bulb f-1 in. diara. Stem 3-4 in. Leaves, 4-5, glabrous, glaucous, lower 4-6 in., 

 recurved, lanceolate, channelled, upper narrower. Perianth 1-1^ in. long ; claws of 

 the segments brown. Anthers longer than the glabrous filaments. Ovary with a 

 narrow neck, stigmas small. Bulbs eaten in Beluchistan. 



2. T. stellata, Hook. Bot. May. t. 2762; bulb -scales woolly within, 

 leaves narrowly linear channelled not undulate, perianth white within, 

 base yellow, rosy or greenish without, segments all alike obtuse or sub- 

 acute. Kunth Enum. iv. 223 ; Baker in Journ. Linn. Soc. xiv. 281 (excl.

 of Anthericum uniflorum, from Rohilkund, made from a specimen that flowered in

 in the long points to the anthers and in some roots from the base of the bulb being 

 transformed into pedicelled tubers.
