-Sparaxis tricolor, Ker. Fig. 3654. Differs from S. grandiflora only in the color of the fls., which are very variable but always have a bright yellow throat and often a dark blotch at the base of each segm. B.M. 381 (as Ixia tricolor); 1482. F.S. 2:124. F. 1843:213 (as S. picta, S. purpurea, S. pulchella).—According to Baker, this is the favorite species among cultivators. It certainly has the greatest variety of colors and markings. In the works cited the floral segms. range from nearly white through rose, brick-red, carmine, crimson, and light purple to dark purple, excluding blue and yellow, which latter color usually appears in the throat.
