Nomenclatural Notes
Status: nom. inval. nom. subnud. Protologue: Abundant on the summit of Mount Arrowsmith, alt. 5,976 feet. It grows in crevices of rocks and bursts into flower as soon as the snow disappears; July 17th, 1887. Dr. Watson, to whom this species has been submitted, believes it to be new. The bulbs have been planted at our Experimental Farm, and the species will be fully described next year. The specimens obtained were too young for correct determination but the species is near A. falcifolium.
