BULBlNE (Greek, bolbos, a, bulb). Ldlicuxx. More 

 than 20 species of half-hardy African and Australian 

 plants, allied to Anthericum, but practically not culti- 

 vated in this country. 



Flowers showy, the petals distinct, 1-nerved, spread- 

 ing and often recurving in age; stamens shorter than 

 the perianth. Some of the species are bulbous, and 

 require the general treatment given Cape bulbs (see 

 Bulbs); but none of the bulbous species is known here. 



690. Bulbine annua. 



finnua, Willd. Fig. 690. Annual, acaulescent, without 

 any rootstock or bulb: Ivs. 12-20, erect but weak: da. 

 bright yellow, racemose. S. Afr. B.M. 1451 (as Antheri- 

 cum). D.C. PI. Grasses, pi. 8. Can be grown as an 

 annual S. N> TAYLOK . 



BULBINELLA: Chryscboctrm. 



BULBOCODIUM (Greek, woolly bulb). Lilidcex. 

 Crocus-like bulbous plants of mts. of Eu. and Russian 

 Asia, spring-flowering or autumn-flowering. 



Leaves appearing after (or before) the fls., usually 3, 

 narrow, sheathed at base: fls. close to the ground, 2^ 

 from each bulb, the perianth funnelform, segm.s. dis- 

 tinct to the base but conniving in a tube; stamens 6; 

 style 3-fld. at the top. One variable species, treated in 

 general as crocuses are cult. Allied to Merendera, to 

 which some of the former species are referred. 



vernum, Linn. Fig. 691. Blooms in gardens in 

 earliest spring before the Ivs. appear, the fls. resting 

 nearly on the ground: fls. rosy purple, white-spotted 

 on the interior, 1-3 from each bulb: Ivs. broad and chan- 

 nelled. B.M. 153 (cf. Fig. 691). F.S. 11:1149. On. 75, 

 p. 409. Bulbs should be taken up and divided every 

 2 or 3 years. Plant in the fall. Usually blooms in 

 advance of the crocus. B. versicolor, Spreng. (B. 

 rulhenicum, Bunge), is a small handsome form. 



L. H. B. 



BULBOPHtLLUM (Greek, bulb-leaf).. Orchidacex. 

 Epiphytic plants, creeping upon rocks or trees; cult, in 

 the warmhouse. 



Pseudobulbs 1-2-lvd in the axils of the sheaths, and 

 with the infl. arising from the base of the pseudobulb: 

 fls. small and numerous in a raceme, or larger and few
