Homeria (said to be from homereo, alluding to the meeting or joining of the filaments). Iridaceae. Half- hardy bulbs that can be set out in spring, and bear orange-colored or red flowers in summer.
Homeria (said to be from homereo, alluding to the meeting or joining of the filaments). Iridaceae. Half- hardy bulbs that can be set out in spring, and bear orange-colored or red flowers in summer.
It is an endemic Cape genus of about 6 species: st. erect from a tunicated corm, producing 1 or more peduncles above: developed If. usually 1, linear, surpassing the st.: fls. in one or few clusters, successive and fugaceous; perianth funnelform, very deeply cut, the segms. narrow and nearly equal or sometimes the 3 inner ones narrower; stamens united by their filaments into a column: fr. a clavate caps.—Horneria is allied to Sparaxis, requires the same cult., and the bulbs are dormant from Aug. to Nov. It belongs to the Moraea tribe, in which the fls. are stalked and more than 1 to a spathe, and the style-branches placed opposite the stamens. It differs from Iris and Monea in having style-branches furnished with terminal stigmas not overtopping the anthers. Nearer allies of garden value are Tigridia, Herbertia and Ferraria, from all of which it differs in the 2 petaloid stigmatose crests at the ends of the style-branches.
