  State 
  Museum. 
  

  

  Commonly 
  the 
  leaves 
  in 
  the 
  typical 
  form 
  are 
  two 
  inches 
  or 
  

   more 
  in 
  length, 
  but 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  form 
  in 
  which 
  they 
  are 
  less 
  than 
  

   two 
  inches 
  long. 
  In 
  these 
  short 
  leaved 
  forms 
  the 
  raceme 
  and 
  

   the 
  pedicels 
  are 
  generally 
  shorter 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  type 
  and 
  the 
  leaves 
  

   are 
  somewhat 
  blunt 
  at 
  the 
  apex. 
  This 
  might 
  be 
  called 
  form 
  

   bremfolia. 
  The 
  form 
  which 
  bears 
  bulblets 
  in 
  the 
  axils 
  of 
  the 
  

   leaves 
  and 
  which 
  is 
  generally 
  without 
  flowers 
  might 
  be 
  desig- 
  

   nated 
  as 
  form 
  bulbifera. 
  All 
  of 
  these 
  forms 
  and 
  varieties 
  may 
  

   have 
  the 
  stem 
  either 
  simple 
  or 
  branched. 
  All 
  of 
  them 
  except 
  

   variei 
  3^ 
  angustifolia, 
  which 
  is 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Southern 
  States, 
  occur 
  

   in 
  our 
  State.

  In 
  the 
  Flora

  America 
  the 
  leaves 
  

   of 
  this 
  species 
  are 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  "an

  In 
  all 
  the 
  

   specimens 
  that 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  they 
  are 
  longer 
  than 
  this, 
  averaging 
  

   about 
  three 
  inches.
