Vellozia (Velloz, a Portuguese naturalist). Velloziaceae; or Amaryllidaceae. Usually shrubs, sometimes arborescent, adapted to the warmhouse. Sts. fibrous-woody, usually dichotomously branched: lvs. linear, rigid, tufted at the ends of the branches: peduncles 1-fld.: fls. usually white; perianth funnel-shaped; segms. subequal, ovate-lanceolate; stamens 6, sometimes many; ovary clavate, 3-celled; ovules many, superposed: caps. coriaceous, dehiscing at the apex.—About 65 species, Trop. and S. Afr., Madagascar and Brazil. Vellozia is closely related to Barbacenia but distinguished by having more than 6 stamens, whereas Barbacenia has only 6. V. trichophylla, Hemsl. (V. equisetoides, W. Wats., not Baker. V. equisetoides var. trichophylla, Baker). Shrub having a thick caudex, 1 ft. or more diam. and short thick primary branches: lvs. numerous, grass-like, scarcely stiff, 3-9 in. long in cult. specimens (often 1-2 ft. long and more rigid in wild specimens), about 1/2 in. wide: peduncles usually in 3's, 1-fld.: fls. reddish lilac, very fragrant; perianth-segms. lanceolate, acute, 1-1 1/2 in. long. E. Trop. Afr. B.M. 7962. G.C. III. 34:425. Very little known in cult.
