Allium lemmonii S. Watson
Annotated by D. W. McNeal, Jan 2012. Remarks: This was (is) a puzzle. When I first saw It my reaction was that it was A. lemmonii, But the usual bulb coat reticulation of that species was not apparent and I did see some Irregular reticulation similar to A. fibrillium M. E. Jones ex Abrams, however further examination showed some reticulation as in A lemmonii (see the envelope) and the specimens fall within the range of that taxon. The population probably deserves further investigation.
