 full flower in July.

A few specimens of a verv young Allium, gathered on the grassy sle])pcs near 

 .\skys, probably belong to this species. The specimens being very young, with flower 

 clusters not exceeding a few mm. in length, a reliable decision is difficult, it being just 

 possible that they may have to be referred to a narrow-leaved form of the nearly allied 

 .4. lineare L. The narrow, fine leaves in the specimens, however, are characteristic of 

 A. clathratum. though both the species in the breadth of the leaves are connected with 

 intermediate forms. 



Distribution: Southern portions of central Siberia, and adjoining ])ortions of 

 Mongolia.

Of this species I have only one specimen in my collections, taken in dry meadows, 

 between Karatus and Kushabar. In full flower about the middle of July.
