Freesia refracta, Klatt. Fig. 1578. Weakly erect, 1-1 ½ ft., from an ovoid reticulated corm, the st. more or less distantly branched and bearing a few reduced lvs: the basal lvs. about 6, linear, firm, about 6 in. long: fls. in loose secund spikes on a flexuose rachis, the spathe- valves oblong-lanceolate and acute and not covering the ovary; perianth greenish yellow or bright yellow, to 1 ½ in. long, the tube abruptly constricted below the middle, the limb distinctly labiate and the segms. unequal. B.R. 135 (as Tritonia refracta).—The original type is probably no longer in cult. Var. alba, Baker (F. alba, Hort.). Lvs. broader: infl. less branched; spathevalves broader, toothed, covering the ovary; fls. large, clear white, with a gradually narrowing tube, the perianth-limb not bilabiate (or only indistinctly so), the segms. obtuse and nearly equal. G. 5:97; 8:575; 27:88. G.M. 50:927. Gn.W. 15:10. J.H. III. 43:272. The common garden form, much prized. F. virginalis grandiflora is a seedling of this, the fls. being much larger, ground-color white and less yellow in throat. G. 31:215. Var.odorata, Baker (F.odorata, Klatt). Lvs. broader than in the type, less rigid, and infl. less branched and fls. fewer: spathe-valves broader and more obtuse, toothed at the apex, covering the ovary; fls. bright yellow, the tube abruptly constricted, the limb not distinctly bilabiate and the segms. obtuse and nearly equal. L.B.C. 19:1820' (as Tritonia odorata). Var. leichtlinii, Hort. (F. leichtlinii, Klatt), (Fig. 1579). differs in its shorter abruptly constricted tube and large pale yellow fls.; by many considered to be a distinct species.<br />
