ALLIUM FIBROSUM T1. sp.
Bulb with a fibrous coating ; stem 2-3 dm. high, subterete, somewhat striate ; leaves flat, thickish, 3 mm. wide, dm. long ; umbel with numerous bulblets and few flowers on pedicels about t cm. long; perianth-segments lanceolate-oblong, obtuse, 6 mm. long ; filaments slightly dilated below, shorter than the segments, and a little longer than the style ; anthers oblong ; ovary evidently 6 crested, with short rounded crests. (Plate 300.)
This somewhat resembles A. Canadense, from which it is dis tinguished by the smaller size, the bright red bulblets, and the crests of the ovary. From A. ;Wien/at= and A. Geyeri, it is easily distinguished by the presence of the bulblets. Collected on a high dry mountain side near Lima, Mont., June 29, 1895, by P. A. Rydberg (no. 2606).
