Describe the plant here... {{Inc| Hymenocallis(beautiful membrane, alluding to the webbed filaments). Including Ismene. Amaryllidaceae. Spider-lily. Sea-daffodil. Bulbous plants of the warm parts of the New World (one in Africa), cultivated for the fragrant white (in one species yellow) umbellate flowers. Perianth salverform, with a cylindrical tube, equal linear or lanceolate segms.; stamens 6, the filaments free above but webbed and united into a cup below, the anthers narrow and versatile; ovary 3-loculed, with 2 collateral ovules in each, bearing a long slender style and very small capitate stigma: scape solid and compressed, arising from a tunicated bulb: lvs. oblong or strap-shape. Species about 40, from N.C. and Mo. to S. Amer., 1 from W. Afr. The genus is represented in the Old World by Pancratium, which differs chiefly in having many superposed ovules in each locule. Some of the species of Hymenocallis are winter bloomers: these should be treated essentially like crinums, being rested or kept slow in the summer. They require a warm temperature. Of such are H. macrostephana, H. speciosa, H. caribaea. Other species require an intermediate or conservatory temperature, and bloom in spring or summer, resting in winter. Of such are H, calathina, H. harrisiana, H. macleana, H. rotata, H. littoralis. Some of these latter or intermediate-house species are hardy in the southern states, there blooming in spring, as H. lacera, H. galvestonensis, and others. The species of hymenocallis require no special treatment (see Bulb), except that the same bulbs may be flowered year after year if they receive good care. Use turfy or peaty soil that will not become "sour" or soggy. Propagation is by offsets from the bulbs. See Amaryllis, for the general handling of this class of bulbs. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== {{Inc| Index. angustifolia, 3. calathina, 12. caribaea, 7. declinatum, 7. galvestonensis, 8. harrisiana, 6. lacera, 9. littoralis, 4. macleana, 11. macrostephana, 10. rotata, 9. senegambica, 5. speciosa, 3. tubiflora, 1. undulata, 2.

Amdreana, Nichols., is one of the Ismene group, and the only species with yellow fls.—H. amana, Herb.=H. ovata (below).—H. Andreana, Nichols.

Mortiziana being one of the parents.—H. fragrans, Salisb.=H. ovata (below).—H. Moritziana, Kunth. Evergreen, with lvs. like eucharis: fls. white, fragrant, with greenish tubes, very slender and twice as long as the segms., the cup very short and toothed. Venezuela.—H. occidlentalis, Kunth. Bulbs large: lvs. evergreen, thick, strap-shaped: fls. white, 3-6, the tube 3-4 in. long; cup much narrowed below. S. C. to Mo. and south.—H. ovata, Roem. Lya. broad and petioled: fla. 6-10, the tube about 2 in. long, the linear segms. little longer: cup 1 in. long. W. Indies.—H. schizostephana, Worsley. Cup laciniate: fls.' white, 12-20 in an erect, crowded umbel, the filaments very short and winged at base. Probably Brazil. }} ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
