The fls. are less than % in. across, 6-parted and arranged in groups of 3-5 along the racerae. They vary from dark purple through violet to whitish.

The plant has a short, thick, stoloniferous rhizome, no stem: no perianth tube, and hypogynous stamens. It is procur- able through Dutch bulb growers, and should perhaps be grown in the greenhouse the year round. spicita, Lour. (i. graminifbUa, Baker).
