as its habit, and not the campanulate perianth characteristic 
of A. aurea. From its natural ally, A. farinosa, A. lutea 
may readily be distinguished by the yellow perianth, which 
is usually more mealy without, and the gradually narrowed 
capsule, the beak of which is only one-half as long as the 
body, whereas the capsule of A. farznosa is abruptly nar- 
rowed into the beak, which is about as long as the body.

ALLIUM ALLEGHENIENSE. 
Bulbs narrowly ovoid, 1-2.5 cm. long, with membranous 
coats. Leaves few, erect or ascending ; blades narrowly lin- 
ear, 2-3 dm. long, 2-4 mm. broad; scapes erect or ascend- 
ing, 3-5 dm. tall, 2-edged at least at maturity, commonly over- 
topping the leaves: umbels 12—40-flowered, nodding : pedicels 
1.5-2.6cm. long, nearly filiform, becoming much thicker at 
maturity, pink or purple: perianth purple, often deeply so, 
mostly urn-shaped, 4-5 mm. high; segments oval or nearly 
so, outer obtuse or notched at the apex, manifestly shorter 
than the inner: capsules 4-5 mm. high, with’ large proces-

This takes the place of A/um cernuum inthe South. I first 
observed the plant in company with Mr. Heller in the moun- 
tains of North Carolina, and we have since collected speci- 
mens at localities north and south of the first observed station. 
The peculiar urn-shaped perianth with its deep purple color 
and the obtuse or notched outer segments are sufficient to dis-
