Polianthes (name discussed below). Amaryllidaceae. Tuberose. Tender summer-flowering bulb, producing long spikes of very fragrant blossoms; by successional plantings, it may be had at different seasons; commonly double-flowered.
Developed lvs. mostly basal, those on the st. short : perianth white; tute long, narrowly funnel-shaped, curved; segms. short, subequal; stamens affixed at the middle of the tube, not exserted; ovary 3-celled, free at apex; stigmas 3, ovate, falcate: fr. crowned by the persistent perianth; seeds flat. As defined by Rose (1903), the genus contains about a dozen species, Mexican, and Bravoa is not clearly distinct. The common tuberose, P. tuberosa, is unknown in a wild state; if it had its origin from any of the Mexican species, it must have come from P. gracilis. Possibly it is native in the Andes of S. Amer.
The name Polianthes was given to the tuberose by Linnaeus in 1737 in his "Genera Plantarum." Unfortunately he wrote "Polyanthes in another work, published in 1737. This was probably an error. Some writers have changed the spelling to Polyanthus, supposing that Linnaeus had in mind the idea of "many- flowered," from polys and anthos. Others have supposed he derived it from polis, a city. It seems probable, however, as Ben- tham & Hooker suggest, that Linnaeus had in mina polios, "shining," "white," and anthos, "flower," which is much more applicable to the tuberose than are the other derivations. Consult Polyanthus for other meanings of the word Polyanthus. The name "tuberose" is derived from tuberosa, this plant being the tuberous hyacinth as distinguished from the bulbous hyacinth. The name therefore is tuber-ose,not tube-rose.
