bosa. Pedicelli filiformes, \ unciam longi. Perianthium parvum, rubrum : 
lacinia oblongse, obtusse (lineolis dorsalibus saturatioribus), externge an- 
gustiores, breviores, et plus cucullatse. Stamina perianthio duplo longio- 
ra. Filamenta plana, basi dilatata, alterna latiora, trifida : appendicibus 
lateralibus brevibus, acuminatis, dentiformibus, perianthio sequalibus ; 
intermediis antheriferis duplo longioribus. Pistilla staminibus bre- 
viora. Stylus teres. Stigma obtusiusculum. Capsula trigona : loculis 2- 
spermis. 
Obs. This plant is in habit Uke All. strictum, but suffi- 
ciently distinguished from it, by its leafy stems, and the 
lateral appendages of the stamens being acuminate (not ob- 
tuse, and shorter than the perianth, never wanting, as in 
All. sirictum), and equal to the perianth. The stamens 
are also double the length of the perianth, while those of 
All. strictum are equal with the perianth.
