Obs. The reason I have added Allium ramosum of Lin- 
Mus as a synonym of his Allium odorum, is from his re- 
ferring to " Gmehn Flora Sibirica," 1. c. Gmeltn mentions 
the stamens of his plant as being longer than the perianth, 
which is not the case in those I have seen ; nor in his figure, 
which is undoubtedly the Allium odorum, although the 
description of Linn^us would agree better with my Allium 
ramosum, which is nearly allied to Allium obliquum, and 
which is also a native of Sibiria. Linn.eus perhaps had 
my plant in view.
