A. arenarium E. B. t. 1358 (as

■). — /3, leaves 



spreading curved, umbel drooping before the flowers expand. 

 A. Sibiricum L. : Borr. in E. B. S. t. 2934. 



Meadows and pastures rare. Westmoreland, Berwickshire, and 

 Argyleshire. — ^. between Kynance Cove and Mullion, and at Tin. 

 tagel, Cornwall. 2/.. 6, 7. — Stem 1 ft. high. Heads o( flowers com- 

 pact, purplish. Sf.am, simple. SpatJia of two short ovate leaves. Umbel 

 without bulbs. — Specific name from (rxoivos, a rush, and irpatrov, a 

 leek : I.e. rush-leaved onion. We consider the figure of A. arenarium 

 in E. B. to have been taken from this species, the leaf being erro- 

 neously represented. " The plant among the rocks at Kynance (at 

 least that which I have seen in various places along the cliffs between 

 Kynance Cove and Mullion) is A, Sibiricum Linn., differing, whether 

 specifically or not, from A. Schoeitoprasiim (the chive of our kitchen- 

 gardens) by its lai'ger size, less clustered bulbs, variously curved, in- 

 stead of upright leaves^ and (under a glass) crenulate, instead of even, 

 sfria? of the stem and leaves, peculiarities which it has retained 

 several years in ray garden. J. Sibiricum abounds also on the sea- 

 cliffs at Tintagel, where it was discovered by the Rev. R. T. JBree,'"
