Libertia (Marie A. Libert, a Belgian woman, who wrote on liverworts about 1820). Iridaceae. Tender mostlv white-flowered plants classed as bulbs and procurable from Dutch dealers.
  −
  −
Perennial herbs with a short creeping rhizome and long fibrous roots: leaves linear, equitant: perianth without any tube above the ovary; segms. obovate, the 3 outer usually shorter, firmer and less showy than the inner, more or less green or brown; stamens inserted at the base of the segms.; filaments free or connate toward the base; ovules many, superposed: caps, small, leathery, loculicidally 3-valved; seeds 3-cornered.—The genus has 8 or 10 species, in Austral., New Zeal., Tasmania and Chile. Botanically it is near Diplarrhena, but in the latter the inner segms. are shorter than the outer ones and connivent. Libertia belongs in the same subtribc with the blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium), but in the latter case all the perianth-segms. are about equal in size. One species is blue-fld. The libertias should be acceptable outdoor subjects in the milder parts of the country. Propogation by division and seeds. They require plenty of moisture at the roots.
