Scientific Names

Read about Camarotis Leichtlinii in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Camarotis Leichtlinii, Wats. Stout, often 3 ft. or even more in height: fls. white, cream-colored, blue or purple, nearly regular; stamens and style ascending; segms. broad and flattened at the base, usually 5-7-nerved: caps, oblong- ovate, emarginate, obliquely veined. The withered segms. of the perianth twist about the caps, like bonbons; this is an infallible distinctive mark of the species. C. Leitchlinii is not common, but is distributed from Mendocino Co., Calif., to Brit. Col. B.M. 6287 (as C. esculenta var. Leichtlinii, Baker).—In Mendocino Co., a clear blue form grows rarely in mountain meadows. In the Umpqua Valley, Ore., the type is clear cream approaching white. In the same region and farther north, a very large deep blue or purple form is found, while in Brit. Col., the cream-colored form again appears but is rare. At their best, the sts. are stiff and heavy, the fls. large and many, and the masses of bloom approach the Eremurus in beauty and are even finer in separate fls. C. Leichtlinii is the finest of all camassias. Several color forms are described, as var. atroviolacea, deep purple, and others. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
