Milla (J. Milla was head gardener at the Court of Madrid). Laliaceae. An attractive spring-flowering bulb.
Leaves few, very narrow, grass-like, radical: scape low, simple and leafless, bearing 1 to several fls. in a terminal umbel; perianth salverform with 3-nerved segms. which are separate nearly to the base; stamens 6, nearly sessile in one row: caps, sessile, oblong-obovate. Bentham & Hooker, as well as Engler, restrict the genus Milla (as Cavanilles, its author, intended) to one Mexican species. From Brodiaea the genus differs in the fact that the pedicels are not jointed and the perianth-segms, are always 3-nerved. Milla and Brodiaea are native to the northern half of the western hemisphere. In S. Amer. is the genus Triteleia, which is by some referred to Milla, by otters to Broduea, and by still others kept distinct. There is one Triteleia (T. uniflora) in common cult. In his monograph (Journ. Linn. Soc. 11, p. 378), Baker refers the triteleias to Milla, and this disposition is followed by Index Kewensis, but in a later account (G.C. III. 20, p. 459) he refers them to Brodiaea. Watson (Proc. Amer. Acad. Arts & Sci. 9, p. 240) restricts Milla to one species. The N. American plants which have been referred to Triteleia are perhaps best treated as brodiaeas, and they are so considered in the account of that genus in Vol. I of this work (p. 576). The S. American triteleias are described under that genus in Vol. VI.
