This was collected by Douglas in California, probably at no great distance from the coast. It is closely 
allied to A. Douglasii, but differs from that species by its more humble stature, shorter and much more fal- 
cate leaves, more compact umbel, much larger flowers, narrower and thinner sepals, which are, moreover, 
undulated and serrulate with minute glands and almost twice as long as the stamens. 
HESPEROSCORDON. Lindl. 
Perianthium subcampanulato-rotatum, bifidum, cum pedicello articulatum. Stamina 6, fertilia ; filamentis 
dilatatis membranaceis mqualibus, e fauce exortis, basi subconnatis. Squama Jiypogyna nullse. Ovarium 
sessile, 3-loculare, polyspermum, apice 3-glandulosum. Stylus teres, cum ovario articulatus. Stigma 
simplex. Capsula trilocularis, 3-valvis, polysperma, valvis medio septiferis. Semina nigra angulata, sub- 
crustacea. — Herbae cormis induviatis. Flores umbellati. Lindl.

brevioribus, perianthii laciniis stellatis, ovario subgloboso. Lmdl. in Bot. Reg. t. 1639. 
This differs from H. Lcivisii. Hook. Flor. Bor. Am. II. p. 185. t. 198, by the umbel being much fewer 
flowered and lax, the pedicels conspicuously longer than the flowers, and slender, and the perianth not cam- 
panulate. In H. Lewisii the ovary is so attenuated at the base as to be almost stipitate. In the centre of 
the umbel the flowers expand at a later period, and are on shorter pedicels than the outer ones. 
CALIPRORA. Lindl. 
Perianthium subcampanulatum, cum pedicello continuum, 6-partitum. Stamina 6, omnia fertilia, fauce 
exorta, verticillata, tria breviora : Jilamenta petaloidea, biloba, antheris inter lobos sessilibus. Squama 
hypogyna null®. Ovarium stipitatum, 3-loculare, polyspermum. Stylus simplex. Stigma trilobum, 
Capsula membranacea, triptera. Semina obovata, nec atra nee Crustacea. — Folia radicalia lineari-ensi- 
formia, acuminata, canaliculata, debilia, scapo longiora. Scapus erectus teres. Flores umbellati, lutei, 
laciniis medio extus fusco-purpureis. Bractese spathacea, ovata, scariosa, pedicellis multo breviores.

The seed-coat is very unlike that of Allium or indeed any of the Asphodelea as limited by Brown, and 
rather resembles in that respect the Tulipacea : but we have not seen it perfectly mature. Lindley, from 
whom the remainder of the above character is taken, takes no notice of it.
