38 MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS ALLIUM. 
Obs. This plant I met with in the Nursery of Messrs 
LoDDiGEs at Hackney. It comes nearest to Allium pal- 
lens^ but the umbels are bulbiferous, and the lacinige of 
the perianth acuminate, which renders it easily distin- 
guished from that species, in which the umbels are with- 
out bulbs, and the laciniae of the perianth obtuse and trun- 
cate ; indeed, this is the only species of this section with 
acuminate laciniae of the perianth. 
45. All. intermedium, foliis semiteretibus, supra canali- 
culatis, umbella pauciflora, perianthii laciniis brevibus trun- 
catis.

Obs. In this species, according to Villars, the lacinias 
of the perianth are scarcely divided to the middle, and 
the flowers white; but, according to Decandolle, they 
are red.
