Bulbus subrotundus, magnitudine cerasi, gregarius : tunicis exterio- 
ribus porosis. Scapus nudus, teres, Igevis, pedalis et ultra. Folia lorato- 
linearia, versus apicem attenuata, acuta, supra canaliculata, subtus 
carinata patentia, basin scapi involventia et eodem breviora. Spatha 
tri- V. quadriloba: lobis mucronatis, brevibus. Pedicelli semiunciam 
longi. Umbella laxa, subfastigiata. Perianthium magnum, roseum, ex- 
pansum : laciniis ellipticis, obtusis, integris. Stamina perianthii dimidio 
breviora. Filamenta subulata, basin versus dilatata, compressa. Antherce 
oblongEe, lutese. Pistilla stamina sequantia. Ovarium rotundatum. Stylus 
teres. Stigma obtusiusculum. 
Obs. This plant may be easily distinguished from its 
congeners, by its umbels being without bulbs, and the la- 
ciniae of the perianth being obtuse and entire, and of a fine 
rose-colour. Allium amcenum nobis, which has also been 
so often confounded with this plant, has a bulbiferous um- 
bel, and the laciniae of the perianth emarginate at the top.
