Tritonia crocosmaeflora, Lemoine (T. Pottsii x pollen of Crocosmia aurea [Fig. 1112, Vol. II]). Fig. 3852. Slender much-branching erect plant 3-4 ft. high, with several or many sword-shaped lvs., and loose more or less distichous racemes: fls. 2 in. across, orange-crimson, with a slender curved tube nearly or quite equaling the oblong spreading segms. R.H. 1882: 124. Gn. 25, p. 363; 31:490. G. M. 36: 484. G.Z. 27:169.— Crocosmia aurea was intro. (into England) in 1847, and Tritonia Pottsii (into Scotland) in 1877 by G. H. Potts. Victor Lemoine, at Nancy, France, hybridized the two, and the product, T. crocosmaeflora, bloomed in 1880. This hybrid is now the most popular of tritonias (or montbretias).<br />
<br />
The following varieties are offered in the trade under the generic name Montbretia; as they are mainly color-forms it seems inadvisable to make new combinations for them, and they are accordingly retained under the trade name. Montbretia crocosmaeflora, var. aurantiaca, Hort. (M. aurantiaca, Hort.), has deep orange fls. Var. californica, Hort. (M. californica, Hort.), has golden yellow fls. Var. germania, Hort. (M. germania, Hort.), has glowing orange-scarlet fls., with blood-red throats. Var. pyramidalis, Hort., is offered in the trade. Var. speciosa, Hort. (M. speciosa, Hort. T. speciosa, Hort.), is said to have close spikes of rich deep yellow fls., the reverse side apricot. J.H. III. 48:391.<br />
