Scape or peduncle, 2-4 ft. high, from a tunicated bulb: lvs. long and large, more or less fleshy, all from the crown: fls. white or tinged green, large, in an open raceme; perianth-tube short, oblong or club-shaped; stamens 6, with linear-oblong versatile anthers: fr. an oblong 3- valved caps., containing many angled black seeds.—The genus differs from Hyacinthus mainly by its more numerous and flattened crowded seeds. The other 2 species are inferior to the following, which was intro. by Leichtlin in the early seventies of last century, and now holds a permanent place in horticulture. The plants prefer a rich, open, moist soil.
