Tigridia (tiger-like, referring to the peculiarly marked flowers). Iridaceae. Bulbous plants, grown in the greenhouse and also making very showy summer- blooming subjects.

Bulbs tunicated: st. erect, mostly unbranched, 1- 2 1/2 ft. tall, with a few narrow plicate lvs. at the base and 2 or 3 smaller ones higher up: spathes 1 or 2, leaf-like, each bearing 1 or few blossoms: fls. in shades of yellow, orange or purplish, variously spotted, often very showy; perianth wide-spreading, with no tube, the segms. 6, in 2 dissimilar series, connivent into a broad cup at the base; stamens 3, the filaments united into a long cylindrical tube including the style; pistil with 3-loculed ovary, long style with 3 2-parted branches.— About 13 species from Mex., Cent. Amer., Peru, and Chile. T. Pavonia, from S. Mex., was in cult. in Eu. in the 16th century. L'Obel described it in 1576. The younger Linnaeus referred it to the genus Ferraria, and some of the tigridias are yet cult. under that name. Ferraria, however, is a S. African genus, and all the parts of the perianth are nearly equal. T. Pavonia is cult. in many forms, and is the only common species in gardens. The fls. of all tigridias are fugitive, lasting only for a day.

Tigridias are tender "bulbs" requiring the treatment given gladiolus. Plant in well-prepared soil when settled weather comes, 2 to 3 inches deep and 4 to 8 inches apart. The principal blooming period is July and August. Allow the corms to remain in the ground until danger of frost approaches, then store in a dry place where dahlias or gladioli will keep. See that the corms are dry before being placed in storage. Propagation is by cormels and seeds. The best colors are secured in warm weather.

T. aurea, Hort., is Cypella plumbea.—T. coelestis, Hort., is Cypella plumbea.—T. Houttei, Roezl, is Hydrotaenia Van Houttei.—T. Maleagris, Hort., is also a Hydrotaenia (H. Meleagris, Lindl.), but is not in the American trade. B.R. 28:39.—T. violacea, Schiede. & Schlecht. One of the Beatonia section: slender, narrow-lvd.: fls. 2 in. across, violet, spotted at the base; inner segms. small, cusp-pointed. Mex. B.M. 7356. H.U. 3, p. 301. Other kinds of Tigrida are likely to appear in cult. CH
