A bulbous plant with a three-angled 

 stem, common on the coast of Algeria. 

 In its usual surroundings this plant is a 

 rather dwarfed weed of dry texture, but 

 it has been found that when transplanted 

 to good garden soil with plenty of fresh 

 water it produces, during ttie winter, 

 large plants with white, tender, and suc- 

 culent underground parts. If the green 

 leaves are removed, the rest of the stem 

 forms a delicate vegetable with no odor 

 of garlic.
