Ixiolirion (Greek, an ixia-like lily). Amaryllidaceae. Three or four species of hardy bulbs from western and central Asia, with umbels of deep blue or violet six-lobed flowers, borne in spring.
Perianth regular, without tube above the ovary; segms., oblanceolate, acute; stamens shorter than the segms., attached to their claws; ovary club-shaped, 3-celled, becoming a 3-valved caps.: lvs. very narrow, mostly at base of the st. The nearest cult, allies are Alstroemeria and Bomarea, which have no distinct rootstock, while Ixiolirion has a bulbous rootstock. The bulbs should be lifted in autumn and stored.
I. kolpakowakianum, Regel (Kolpakowakia ixidlirioides Regel), is perhaps a form of above, but has a smaller bulb, fls. 2-4 in a terminal umbel, and the perianth-segms. ľ-1 in. long: lvs. about 4 in a basal tuft and 1 or 2 small ones above. Turkestan. Gt. 1878:953. L.H.B.
