Marica (meaning doubtful; perhaps from the verb to flag). Iridaceae. Tropical plants allied to Iris, but with shorter-lived flowers and convolute inner segments.
Rootstock a short rhizome: lvs. sword-shaped, 2- ranked: fls. blue, yellow or white, very fugitive, in clusters on a flat and lf.-like peduncle, 2-4 in across, the outer segms. large, white or blue, the inner ones smaller, fiddle-shaped, with beautiful coloring; stamens short and erect, the filaments distinct: caps, oblong. 3-valved, many-seeded. — About a dozen perennial herbs, in Trop. Amer. and 1 in Guinea (Afr.) They are planted in the fall, and are hardy with winter covering in the warmer parts. The genus is nearest to Cypella, but the style-crests are petal-like, while in Cypella they are spur-like or flattened ; in Cypella the lvs. are plicate rather than distichous and the rootstock is bulbous.
