Cummingia (for Lady Gordon Gumming) of gardeners (name bestowed by D. Don in 1828), sometimes spelled Cumingia (Kunth, 1843), is now referred to Conanthera. Amaryllidacae. The conantheras are of about four species in Chile, one of which is rarely in cult, as a tender summer-blooming bulb. They are said to be difficult to keep long in cult. They are cormous plants, with basal linear or linear-lanceolate Lvs., erect sts. paniculate-branching above, fls. blue on bractless pedicels: perianth funnelform, the tube short; lobes longer than tube, oblong, nearly equal, spreading or becoming reflexed; stamens 6, attached in the throat, shorter than the perianth-lobes, all perfect, the filaments very short; ovary 3-celled, the style subulate. Conanthera campanulata, Lindl. (C. Simsii, Sweet. C. bifolia, Sims, not Ruiz & Pav. Cummingia campanulata, D. Don) is 1-1½ ft. high, with linear Lvs. shorter than the st. or peduncle and blue paniculate pretty fls. B.M.2496. CH
