"A bulbous plant, found wild in shady woods on the moun- 

 tains of Sicily. It has been hitherto referred, most unaccount- 

 ably, to the genus u4'llium, with which it agrees, indeed, in 

 having an umbellate inflorescence, and a powerful garlic-like 

 odour ; but, in hardly any other respect, more than Ornithoga- 

 lum, and the other genera of the liliaceous order. The cha- 

 racters assigned to it are amply sufficient to fix it as a most 

 distinct and remarkable genus." {Bot. Reg., Dec.)
