mm. in diameter. The leaves from 3 to 6 mm. broad, and usually not quite so long 

 as the stems. Length of the perianth generally 6 mm., rarely up to 8 mm. Gathered with 

 young flowers, some of them not full-blown, in the second half of June. 



Distribution: Eastern Turkestan, and central Asia, Siberia, northern Mongolia, 

 eastern Asia, Sakhalin, Japan.

Scattered in the subalpine woods, among conifers, and in thickets of foliferous 

 trees, about the Upper Amyl and in the Altaian, where I have collected it up to alti- 

 tudes of about 2000 m. above sea-level. The leaves of the specimens gathered are rather 

 narrow, from 2 — 3 cm. broad, and the length 5 — 7 times the breadth. The summiLs of 

 the perianth-segments are rather acute, length 6 mm., breadth about Va of length. In 

 full flower in July. 



Distribution:' Southern and middle Europe, the Caucasus, Siberia, central Asia, 

 northern Mongolia, Sakhalin, Japan, north-western America.

A few specimens of a verj' young Allium, gaflhered on the grassy steppes near 

 Askys, 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 

 A. 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 portions 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. 



Distribution: Middle Europe, southern Russia, south-western and central Asia, 

 Siberia, northern Mongolia, eastern Asia, Sakhahn.
