Two Chilean bulbous early-flowering plants, useful for pots or for forcing, one of which is offered by Dutch bulb dealers. They look like blue crocuses. They are stemless plants, with 1 - few-fid. scapes and linear or lanceolate leaves arising from tunicated corms. The flowers are blue, campanulate. with 6 segments, 3 per- fect stamens and 3 staminodia, a single style and a 3- loculed ovary. The botanical position of Tecophilsea is open to discussion, but the inferior ovary seems to take it out of the Liliaceae, with which it has been placed by some writers. The plants are useful for blooming in pots indoors early in spring. T. violceflora, Bertero, does not appear to be introduced. Th
