Plants with 2 or 3 very broad opposite lvs., and a very short scape so that the usually white or greenish fls. are borne in a sessile or nearly sessile globose head at the surface of the ground surrounded by several membranaceous bracts: perianth with a cylindrical tube and narrow spreading or reflexed nearly equal segms.; stamens 6, inserted at the throat, the filaments more or less united at the base; ovary 3-celled and many-ovuled, becoming a membranaceous 3-valved caps. M. pustulata, Jacq., has an ovoid bulb. 1 in. diam., ribbed tuberculate broad-oblong lvs., and greenish fls. in the cup of pustulate foliage; perianthtube cylindrical, the segms. narrow and spreading; stamens long and upstanding. B.M. 642. G.C. III. 39:44. — An odd plant, requiring warm greenhouse conditions.
