Stenomesson (Greek, small and middle, alluding to the corolla-tube, which is usually contracted near the middle). Amaryllidaceae. Bulbous herbs grown in the warm- or coolhouse. Leaves developing with the fls., linear or broadly strap-shaped: fls. in several umbels, rarely reduced to one, pedicels often recurved, making the fls. pendulous; involucral bracts 2; perianth red, golden, or tawny, tube elongated, subcylindrical, slightly contracted above the base or toward the middle, lobes erect or more or less spreading; ovary 3-celled: caps. subglobose or 3-furrowed, loculicidally 3-valved; seeds black.—About 22 species, Trop. Amer. Stenomessons require a good soil and a sunny house with a temperature never below 45°. During the growing season they should have plenty of water, but when at rest comparative dryness is necessary. The offsets should be removed from the old bulbs before growth commences. The plants continue in bloom a number of weeks in spring and summer. CH
