Muilla (an inversion of Allium). Liliaceae. Bulbous plants closely allied to Allium. Perianth subrotate, persistent, of 6 nearly equal slightly united segms., spreading, closely 2- to 3-nerved; stamens in one row at the base; anthers versatile; filaments slightly thicker at the base; ovules 8-10 in a cell; style club-shaped, persistent and at length splitting: caps, obovate or subglobose; sessile or nearly so: fls. greenish white: pedicels not jointed: lvs. several.—One species from Calif., W. Nev. An unimportant plant advertised by specialists in Pacific coast bulbs. It has a slender scape 3-12 in. high, bearing early in the year an umbel of 5-15 greenish white fls., each about ½ in- across. Differs from Allium, in that instead of a true bulb it has a fibrous-coated corm, and also lacks the onion-like odor. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
