Lycoris sanguinea, Maxim: Bulb ovoid, 1 in. diam.; neck 1-2 in. long: lvs. linear. fls. red, 4-6 in an umbel on a peduncle 12-18 in. high; tube ½ in. long; stamens shorter than the perianth- segms. Japan.—The only species with segms. neither wavy or reflexed. Statements that the blooming period is May and June are probably erroneous. A var. alba is advertised. It is said that the lvs. of this and the next appear in March; also that the fls. of L. sanguinea are dull brownish red. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
