Quamasia (quamash, the Indian name). Liliaceae. A name given by Rafinesque in 1818 to the plants that Lindley, in 1832, called Camassia. On the principle of fifty years of accepted usage, the name Camassia is retained in the "nomina conservanda" of the International Botanical Congress (Vienna), and under that name the plants are treated in Vol. II. One species, variously Known as Camassia esculenta, Quamasia esculenta and Q. hyacinthina, is native in the eastern United States, but the most showy species are from the Pacific side of the continent.
