''Lapeyrousia'' (Jean Francois Galoup de Lapey- rouse, distinguished French naval officer, born 1741). Iridaceae. African bulbs, something like freesias, but with mostly blue or red flowers, produced in summer instead of spring.
Corm with matted tunics or coverings, flattened at the base: leaves usually only 1 or 2 to each st. (sometimes several), very narrow, in some cases nearly terete, distichous: peduncle mostly branched; flowers small, red to white and yellow; perianth-tube subcylindrical, long or short, somewhat dilated upward; Begins, nearly equal, spreading, oblong-lanceolate; stamens inserted in the throat; ovary 3-celled: fr. a small caps., oblong or globose, loculicidal. Species about 50 in Trop. and S. Afr. By dealers they may be listed under the name of Anomatheca, which Baker has reduced to one of the 3 subgenera of Lapeyrousia, characterized by having several leaves forming a 2-ranked basal rosette, accompanied by a long, branched st. Lapeyrousia is further distinguished from Freesia by having a more slender perianth-tube, with the stamens inserted at the throat instead of below; also by the ovules being more regularly superposed instead of crowded together. The species of Lapeyrousia have an egg-shaped or globose corm about 1/2 in. thick, and matted with tunics: leaves linear or sword-shaped: infl. various, often a loose, 1- sided, more or less zigzag spike, as in Freesia; flowers variously colored, 1-2 in. across; perianth-tube long or short; segms. spreading, 3 larger than the other 3.
Some of the lapeyrousias can be grown outdoors in the North with some winter covering, and are said to be quite hardy south of Washington, D. C., if planted deep. These plants will probably never have anything like the degree of popularity enjoyed by freesias, because of their later season of bloom and lack of fragrance. Probably the most popular kind is ''L. cruenta'', which grows 6 to 10 inches high, blooming in summer and fall. In a sheltered place and in light, porous soil it generally succeeds in the North without any protection, but the bulbs are safer in very severe winters under a covering of litter or straw. The bulbs increase rapidly, and should be divided every few years before they become too crowded.
