Hastingsia (S. Clinton Hastings, San Francisco, promoter of Californian botany). Liliaceae. Two bulbous plants of the Pacific slope, separated by Sereno Watson from the genus Schoenolirion (the Oxytria of Rafinesque), offered by collectors but little known in cultivation. Plants with white or greenish fls. in many-fld. dense panicles or racemes: perianth-segms. distinct, each obscurely 3-nerved; stamens 6; style short; ovary oblong-ovate and not deeply lobed (so differing, among other things, from Schcenolirion, which has a depressed- globose deeply 3-lobed ovary and fr.). Hastingsias have strong, nearly naked sts., arising from a tunicated bulb: lvs. lather fleshy. Treatment as for camassia. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
