Obs. All authors who have described Allium roseum 
with emarginate petals, evidently mean this plant: both 
plants have been so often confused together, that it has 
now become difficult to unravel them. Linn^us, in his 
" Species Plantarum,'' p. has evidently had in view 
the true Allium roseum, while in his " Systema Vegetabi- 
lium," p. 321, he has had this plant. Willdenow, in his 
Species Plantarum," has copied Linn^us's character from 
the " Systema VegetabiUum," but that he intends AUium 
roseum^ is evident from his own description.
