Show APPENDIX D.- BOTANY. 397 ALLIUM STRLLATUM, Fraser, Bot. Mag. t. 1576.- Weber River, May 23. A. RETICULATUM, Fraser, Bot. Mag. 1.1840.- Wahsatch Mountains, June. CALOCHORTUS LUTEUS, Nutt. in Jour. Acad. Phil. 7, p. 53; probably not of Douglass.- Valley of Salt Lake. The root is called " sego" by the natives, and is much esteemed by them as food. It is bulbous, and varies in size from that of a pea to that of a filbert. Our plant agrees exactly with the description of Nuttall, who was probably mistaken as to the colour of the flower. The inner sepals seem to be white, except at the claw, which is yellow. I have not been able to institute a comparison between this plant and Douglass's ( 7. luteu% ; but if ours proves to be distinct, it may be called 0. nuttallii. ERYTHRONIUM GRANDIFLORUM, Pursh.
