(2308.) A. Nevii, Watson. Proced. Am. Acud., Vol. VI., 231. 

 A. relkvlalum, Hook., Fl. II., 184, in part. 

 Abundant in a few localities. Thi.s species throws up leaves early 

 in spring, but does not flower until after the middle of June, when it 

 is in perfection. Abundant in a field near the base of Cedar Hill, and 

 in some profusion on rocky ground near Cloverdale, close to Victoria; 

 common on rockj' ledges, at the Half Way House, four miles from 

 Nanaimo, Vancouver Island. {Macoun.) Nootka. {Hooker. FL) 



(2309.) A. Vancouverense. 



Abundant on the summit of Mount Ai-rowsraith, alt. 5,976 feet. It 

 glows in crevices of rocks and bursts into flower as soon as the 

 snow disappears ; July I7th, 1887. Dr. Watson, to whom this species 

 has been submitted, believes it to be new. The bulbs have been planted 

 at our Experimental Farm, and the species will be fully described next 

 year. The specimens obtained were too young for correct deter- 

 mination but the species is near A. falci folium.

(2310.) C. Fraseri, Torr. Pacif R. Rep., IV., U7. 

 Scilla FrasiTi, Gray, Man., Ed. V., 533.

(2311.) C. esculents, Lindl. Hook., Fl. IL, 186. 

 I'halangium Quamanh, Pursh, Fl. I., 226. 

 Very abundant in all rich soils, and even in cultivated fields and 

 meadows, throughout the southern part of Vancouver Island. It be- 

 comes less common as the oak disappears, but at Qualicum and Alberni 

 it is still in profusion in open sjiots. {Macoun. Fletcher. Dawson.) 

 North West America. {Hooker, Fl.) By following the plough in the 

 autumn, when the stubble is being turned over, many fine bulbs can be 

 collected. It is not so much eaten now as formerly, as the Indians 

 have better food since the advent of the whites.
