Scientific Names

Read about Tigridia pringlei in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Tigridia pringlei, Wats. Fig. 3809. Distinguished by Sereno Watson, the author of the species, as follows: "Very closely related to T. Pavonia, and if color alone were to decide, it might be considered a variety of it, though differing markedly even in that respect from the old species. The base of the sepals is blotched (rather than spotted) with crimson, with a border of orange, the reflexed blade being of a bright scarlet-red. The petals have the base blotched and coarsely spotted with crimson, with a well-defined, deeper-colored, brownish margin, the blade orange, tinged with scarlet, but not at all spotted as in T. Pavonia. The more essential difference is in the form of the petals, which have a broadly cordate or reniform base, with a much narrower small triangular-ovate acute blade. The sepals are also smaller and more oblong in outline." N. Mex. G.F. 1:389 (adapted in Fig. 3809). B.M. 7089. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
