Tritonia (name explained as follows by Ker-Gawler, its author: "Name derived from Triton, in the signification of a vane or weathercock; in allusion to the variable direction in the stamens of the different species"). Including Montbretia. Iridaceae. Blazing Star. Showy-flowered corm-bearing herbs used both as greenhouse and summer-blooming subjects.

Some of the following plants occur in the trade under Montbretia and have never been transferred to Tritonia. They are little known botanically and in some cases are probably hybrids or forms of T. crocosmaeflora and are here listed as Montbretias as signified by the M. before the specific name.—T. aurea, Pappe (M. aurea, Hort.). See Crocosmia aurea.—T. crispa, Ker-Gawl. Fl. whitish or pale pink, with oblong, obtuse segms. and with crisped lvs. B.M. 678.— T. deusta, Ker-Gawl. Differs from T. crocata in having a purple-black blotch on the claw of the 3 outer segms. B.M. 622.—M. elegans, Hort., has yellow and apricot fls.; possibly a form of T. crocosmaeflora.—T. flava, Ker-Gawl. Fls. bright yellow, the segms. oblong and the 3 lower ones with a callus in the throat: lvs. very short. B.R. 747.—M. germanica, Hort., is offered in the trade as a form with scarlet fls., shaded with orange, 3 in. across.—T. hyalina, Baker. Differs from T. crocata in having the perianth-segms. narrowed at the lower part into a claw with hyaline margin. B. M. 704 (as T. fenestrata).—T. lineata, Ker-Gawl. Fls. white or pink, with short oblong segms. and protruding anthers, of the shape of gladiolus fls. B.M. 487 (as Gladiolus lineatus).—M. Prometheus, Hort, is a horticultural form which grows up to 4 ft. high, with branching spikes of rich orange or orange-red fls., 3 1/2 in. across, their center crimson. Gn. 71, suppl. Jan. 19. G.M. 49:815.—M. rosea. Hort., is offered in the trade as a form growing 3 ft. or more high with long arching spikes of rose or bright salmon-rose fls.—T. scillaris, Baker. Small and slender: fls. pink, with wide-flaring narrow segms., ixia-like, B.M. 629 (as Ixia polystachya).—T. securigera, Ker-Gawl. Lvs. short: fls. red or copper-colored, the 3 lower segms. with a callus on the claw. B.M. 383 (as Gladiolus securiger).—T. undulata, Baker. Lvs. short and narrow, much crisped: fls. pink, with oblong equal segms. B.M. 599 (as Ixia crispa).—T. viridis, Ker-Gawl. Lvs. plane or crisped, linear: fls. green, with nearly equal oblanceolate segms. B.M. 1275.—T. Wilsonii, Baker. Lvs. very narrow-linear: racemes simple or forked, lax, few-fld.: fls. white, tinged with purple, the segms. obovate-cuspidate.
