Leucocoryne (white club, alluding to the sterile anthers). Liliaceae. About a dozen small bulbous plants of Chile, allied to Milla and Brodiaea, half-hardy in England, rarely planted here; they probably require the treatment given ixias. Plants scapose, with radical leaves, and tunicated bulbs or conns: flowers few, in terminal bracted umbels; perianth with 6 nearly or quite equal spreading oval-oblong or narrow lobes; stamens 6, of which 3 are perfect and the others reduced to staminodia: caps, membranaceous, 3-grooved, dehiscent. The species known to culture are: L. ixioides, Lindl. One foot: leaves about same length: flowers 4-6, white or pale blue. L. alliacea, Lindl. Six to 12 in.: leaves very narrow, 6-8 in. long: flowers pale lilac, 3/4 in. long. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture. It may be out of date, but still contains valuable and interesting information which can be incorporated into the remainder of the article. Click on "Collapse" in the header to hide this text.
