Lourya (Jules Louis Charles Boys de Loury). Liliacae; by some referred to Haemodoraceae:. An aspidistra-like plant of recent intro.: perennial herb with creeping rhizome: lvs. basal, lengthened and stalked: fls. in dense heads or spikes at the surface of the ground; parts of perianth ovate, becoming spreading; at the throat a corona; anthers 6, sessile. One species: L. campanulata, Baill. Rootstock stout, subterranean: lvs. 1-2 ft. long, oblong-lanceolate, tapering at both ends: fls. basal, larger and more showy than those of Aspidistra and in longer spike, pale yellow (white?) with purple center, broadly campanulate, the 6 lobes broad: fr. blue, 1 in. long. Cochin-China: a very worthy plant. B.M. 7482. G.C. III. 33:107. R.H. 1889, p. 129. It looks like Curculigo, but differs botanically in having basal ovules and in the characters of stamens, the filaments being united in a dark purple membrane which nearly closes the tube, the anthers small and erect.
