[Taxacom] Perhaps a species of Muilla

[Dr Gurcharan Singh]

Dear Members


I found this herb growing in Herbal Garden in Delhi, looking like Allium but
with no smell at all. I suspect it to be some species of Muilla but leaves
seem to be broader than M. transmontana with which it seems to resemble.
Leaves are flat, nearly 9-11 mm broad and up to 30 cm long; scape is longer
reaching 40 cm, with 8-15 flowers, each flower about 1 cm long with 6 white
tepals, almost equally long; stamens 6, almost of same length, dilated
towards base and with yellow anthers. Capsule about 7-9 mm long, 4-6 mm
broad; each chamber with two rows of 4-5 seeds each.
