+'''Tigridia''' ({{pron-en|taɪˈɡrɪdiə}}),<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607</ref> the '''tiger-flowers''' or '''shell flowers''', is a genus of [[bulb]]ous or [[corm]]ous plants, belonging to the family [[Iridaceae]]. They have large showy [[flower]]s and one species, ''[[Tigridia pavonia]]'', is often cultivated for this. The approximately thirty five species in this family grow in the [[Western Hemisphere]], from [[Mexico]] to [[Chile]]. The tigridia flower is short lived, each often blooming for only one day, but often several flowers will bloom from the same stalk. Usually they are dormant during the winter dry-season. Its roots are edible and was eaten by the [[Aztec]]s of [[Mexico]] who called it ''cacomitl'' and its flower ''ocēlōxōchitl'' "Jaguar flower". The genus name means "tiger-like" and alludes to the coloration and spotting of the flowers of the [[type species]] ''Tigridia pavonia''.<ref name=Goldblatt2008>{{cite book |author=Manning, John; Goldblatt, Peter |title=The Iris Family: Natural History & Classification |publisher=Timber Press |location=Portland, Oregon|pages=253–56 |year=2008|isbn=0-88192-897-6}}</ref>
