The leaves appear later than the flowers, and are between lanceolate and strap-shaped. The scape is two feet high, 
taper, glaucous, and 2-flowered. The segments of the flower are spreading, but combined into a curved funnel-shaped 
tube, whose throat is destitute of appendages. ' The outer divisions of the flower are broadest. The stigma is very small 
and 3-cornered. The flower stalks are a full inch long ; the flowers themselves about 3 inches.— A llg. gartenzeit. 1850.

Found on the Silla de Caraccas, at an elevation of between 6000 and 7000 feet. Leaves said to resemble those of the 
Camellia in form, and of the Arbutus in texture. Flowers, although small, very conspicuous because of the pure 
whiteness of their calyx and corolla.— Flore des Sevres, 501 d.
