Paradisea (said to be from Paradise, of which this plant is supposed to be a fit inhabitant). Often written Paradisia. Liliaceae. Stem Bruno's Lily. Hardy herbaceous perennial, a single species, with small white flowers, native in the Pyrenees, Apennines, Alps, and Juras. St. Bruno's lily and Stem Bernard's lily are advertised in catalogues of hardy herbaceous plants as Anthericum Liliastrum and Anthericum Liliago, but the former should be called Paradisea Liliastrum; the latter is Stem Bernard's lily. Both have white flowers, borne in early summer on scapes a foot or more high. The flowers of both are tipped green outside. The leaves are linear, all radical, and a foot or so long. Both plants are natives of Cent. Europe, and by their popular names recall the life-saving monks of the Alps. It is no wonder, then, that they are often confused, although they belong to different subtribes. The Paradisea has larger flowers, which are funnel-shaped rather than rotate, but the fundamental differences upon which Paradisea is made a separate genus lie in the stamens. In Paradisea (according to Bentham & Hooker) the anthers are attached at the middle of the back and are versatile; in Anthericum the anthers are attached at their base and are erect ; moreover, the stamens of Paradisea are hypogynous; of Anthericum, perigynous.
