3. A. atrosangruineum; SchrenTc in Bull. Acad. Petersh. x. 355; 

 leaves 1-2 stout as long as the scape, head subglobose dense-fid., pedicels

Westeen Himalaya ; Kashmir at Gilgit, Tanner. — Disteib. Turkestan. 



Buli narrow, coats membranous at length fibrous. Leaves fistular, 8-12 by ^-i in., 

 linear, obtuse ; sheaths very long. Scape stout, fistular. Head |— 1 in. diam. ; 

 spathes persistent. Ferianth J— J in. long ; segments united below j filaments sub- 

 equal, inserted at ^ distance from their base, about i as long as the perianth. Ovary 

 globose; style short.— The Gilgit specimens have rather smaller flowers with more 

 obtuse segments than the Turkestan. 



4. A. Fedschenkoanum, Begel All. Monogr. 82 ; leaves 1-2 much 

 shorter than tall stout scape, head globose dense-fid., pedicels about equal-

 nate, not i the length of the perianth. Capsule globose, style very short. — The
