TRITELEIA. Supra, fol. 1685. 
T. uniflora; folis linearibus scapo (pedali) debili subzequalibus, involucro 
vaginante apice bifido pedunculo filiformi duplò breviore, umbellà 1-florá, 
staminibus superioribus infra faucem ortis Lindl. in Bot. Reg. sub 
folio 1293. 
Rather a pretty bulbous plant, native of Mendoza, where 
it was originally found by Dr. Gillies. Its flowers have a 
delicate sky-blue tinge, but ‘unfortunately the plant smells 
powerfully of garlic. 
It will be easily cultivated in a frame, or even in an 
open border, kept dry in winter. 
The specimen was communicated by Messrs. Lowe and 
Co. of Clapton, in June 1836. 
The manner in which the anthers are attached to the 
filament, and the sessile ovary of this species, are at variance 
with the characters of the genuine Triteleias, but in the 
absence of any additional species, it will be most advisable 
to leave it undisturbed in the genus where it at present 
stands. x
