Tube of perianth firm and opaque, turbinate or somewhat 

 urceolate, but never at all inflated or saccate: segments 

 equaling the tube, campanulate- or rotate-spreading, the

 not coalescent with the perianth-tube, but coherent with it 

 by one side or angle and remaining prominent down to its 

 base, 3 antheriferous and the alternate 3 bearing white, pet-

 tortuous. Umbels loose and mostly few-flowered, the pedi- 

 cels elongated and firm. — Parad. Lond. ii. t. 98; Britten,
