Leucocrinum (Greek, while lily). Liliaceae. White Mountain Lily. Sand Lily of Colorado. A bulbous plant growing a few inches high, with narrow foliage and clusters of pure white fragrant flowers borne just above the gound in early spring. The flowers are funnel-shaped, having a slender tube 2-4 in. long, the greater part of which is below the surface, and 6 lobes, each 3/4 - 1 1/2 in. long, borne in clusters of 4 to many flowers, and maintaining a succession for several weeks. They should be desirable for edging walks and bulb beds. They have a deep-seated rhizome and fleshy roots. The bulbs are procurable from Colo, and Calif., either as collected or nursery-grown stock. The genus has a single species. It belongs to an anomalous group, characterized by almost total lack of st. and flowers solitary or clustered among the radical leaves. From the other members of this group it is distinguished by the leaves not 2-ranked, and an indefinite number of ovules in each locule. Perianth-segms. narrowly lanceolate, persistent; stamens 6; style persistent, slightly 3-lobed. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
