Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches cyclopediaofamer04bail4 Year: 1900 2008 ZEPHYRANTHES ZEPHYRANTHES The latest revision of Zephyrantbes is found in Baker's Handbook of the Araaryllidete, 1888, where the follow- ing subgenera are made: Subgenus Zephyranthes Proper. Flower erect; tube short; stamens inserted near its throat. (Eighteen species, including all described below except No. 11.) 2788. Zenobia speciosa (X V). (See page 2007.) Subgenus Zephyrites. Flower slightly Inclined; tube short; stamens inserted near its throat; style more decliuate than in the other two subgenera. (Eleven species, including No. 11 below.) Subgenus Pyrohrion. Flowers erect; tube longer, dilated in the upper half; stamens inserted at the mid- dle of the periauth-tube. (Five species, none in cult.) For the further separation of the species Baker uses the characters which appear in the key below, except the foliage characters and the color of the flowers. However, the genus may be readily separated into three sections based upon the color of the fls., and this ar- rangement is here used as being more convenient to the horticulturist. The seasons of bloom indicated below are those for localities where the plants will thrive out- doors the year round. The Zephyr Lilies must be wintered in a place free from frost, and as the best kinds are natives of swampy places it is fair to presume that they will need more moisture during the resting period than the generality of bulbous plants. The four best species are: Z. Can- dida, white, autumn; Z. Atumasco, white, spring; Z. carliiata, rosy, summer; Z. rosea, autumn. AU of these will probably survive the winter out of doors in our m
