<!--- ******************************************************* -->
Ferraria (Giovanni Battista Ferrari. 1584-1653, Italian Jesuit, botanical writer and collaborator with the celebrated artist Guido Reni). Iridaceae. Half-hardy bulbous plants from the Cape of Good Hope (and recent species from other parts of Africa), rarely growing more than 6 inches high.

Corm large and irregular: foliage glaucous; lowest lvs. long and linear, the others ovate, clasping, successively smaller, and topped by inflated sheaths from which emerge the fugitive fls.; these have 6 triangular, spreading, crisped, petal-like lobes, marked with many dull colors, as yellow, green, purple and brown; each spathe contains several fls., and the fls. are united at the very base, connivent and cup-shaped below the spreading lobes; the fls. last only from morning to afternoon of a single day, but there is a fair succession; some are visited by carrion flies: fr. an ellipsoid membranous caps.—Only one species, F. undulata, is much known in cult., but the other 5 or 6 species of the Cape are doubtless of equal interest. This was known to pre-Linnaean authors as Flos indicus and Gladiolus indicus. The bulbs should be stored like gladiolus in a dry, warm place, away from mice.
