'''''[[Lachenalia]] tricolor'''''. [[Bulb]] [[globose]], to 1 in. diam.: peduncle and infl. to 1 ft.: lvs. usually 2, 6-9 in. long, often spotted: raceme mostly 3—4-fld.,sometimes many- fld.; lower fls. nodding; outer segms. yellow, tipped green; inner purplish red at the tip, much exceeding the outer. Var.quadricolor, Baker (L. quadricolor, Jacq.). Perianth with a red base and greenish yellow middle; outer segms. tipped green; inner ones tipped red-purple. Var. luteola, Baker (L. luteola, Jacq.). Perianth lemon- yellow,tinged green toward the tip. Var. luteola maculata, Hort. (L. luteola maculata, Hort.), differs from the preceding in having spotted foliage. Var. Nelsonii, Baker (L. Nelsonii, Hort.). Fig. 2055. Perianth bright yellow, both series of segms. faintly tinged green: probably the lachenalia most grown in this country, bearing freely for a long season long racemes of brilliant fls.: treated much as are hyacinths indoors, being kept cool. Var. aurea, Hook. (L. aurea, Lindl.). Perianth bright orange- yellow.—Baker observes that "the varieties are connected by intermediate stages. Several hybrids between L. pendula and the varieties of L. tricolor are in cult., the finest of which is L. Commii,Hort., which combines the bright yellow fls. of L. aurea, with the habit of L. pendula. Var. superba, Hort., is described as a very large form with boldly colored fls. Var. d'Anconae, Hort., is a form with light yellow fls. tipped green and purple.
