Tecophilaea (named for Tecophila Billotti, daughter of a botanist). Amaryllidaceae. Chilean Crocus. Bulbous plants, useful for blooming in pots indoors early in the spring. Lvs. radical, few or 1, inclosed in a long scarious sheath at the base, blade spreading, linear or lanceolate: scape included with the lvs. at base in the sheath, otherwise leafless, 1-fld. or laxly few-fld.: fls. blue; perianth campanulate, 6 segms.; stamens 3 perfect and 3 staminodia; ovary 3-celled: caps. conical toward the top, loculicidally dehiscent.—Two species, Chile. The botanical position of Tecophilaea is open to discussion, but the inferior ovary seems to take it out of the Liliaceae, with which it has been placed by some writers. The plants are useful for blooming in pots indoors early in spring. T. violaeflora, Bert., does not appear to be introduced. CH
