DIELS—LILIACEAE. 301 
The habit of this plant is very different from the type, the 
lower leaves being extraordinarily short and broad. But the 
flowers being the same, I think it is a local modification only.

This species is allied to A. Wadllichit, differing in the fewer 
flowered inflorescence, and deep crimson flowers, which are 
getting darker, not paler, when dried. A similar form is known 
from Sikkim.
