HERBERTIA (Wm. Herbert, 1778-1847, Dean of 

 Manchester, distinguished botanist, author of "Amaryl- 

 lidaceae," and ardent lover of bulbs). Iridaceae. Bulb- 

 ous plants, native from Texas to Chile and southern 

 Brazil, with fugitive blue or lilac flowers borne in 

 summer; allied to Tigridia. 



Stems simple or forking, from a tunicated corm: 

 Ivs. mostly basal, few, long and narrow, somewhat 

 folded or plicate: fls. several from a single terminal 

 spathe, pedicelled; perianth showy, without tube and 

 segms. 6 in 2 very unlike series, the inner being much 

 smaller; stamens 3, united by their filaments into a 

 tube; ovary long, 3-celled; styles partially united, the 

 3 branches forked: fr. an oblong locuhcidally 3-valved 

 exserted caps., with many small angled seeds. 

 About a half-dozen species, of secondary value horti- 

 culturally. There is some confusion in the generic 

 name; but the situation is: Herbertia, Sweet, 1827; 

 Alophia, Herbert, 1838; Trifurcia, Herbert, 1840. The 

 herbertias thrive in usual garden soils; sometimes 

 started in coldframes; prop, by seeds and offsets. 



pulchella, Sweet. Bulb or corm globose, J^in. or 

 more thick; tunics brown: Ivs. about 4, linear, plaited, 

 3-6 in. long: spathes 1^ in. long: fls. lilac; outer segms. 

 obovate, with a white claw spotted lilac. Chile, 

 Argentina, Brazil. B.M. 3862. 



platensis, Hort. Franceschi. Bulb or corm very 

 large: Ivs. sword-shaped, glaucescent, ribbed, 2 ft. and 

 more long: scapes to 4 ft.; fls. large, light porcelain- 

 blue, produced in 8 months of summer. La Plata. 



H. amatdrum, C. H. Wright. Bulb or corm globose, with brown 

 scales: Ivs. lanceolate, acuminate, plicate, 8 in. long: scape 18 in., 

 very slender, branched: spathes herbaceous, the inner twice longer 

 than outer: fls. violet; perianth 2 in. across; outer segms. with 

 white midrib inside, 3 times longer than inner, the latter brown- 

 spotted at base. Uruguay. H. cxriilea, Herb.=H. Drummond- 

 iana. H. Drummondiana, Herb. Corm small and ovoid, with 

 brown tunics: st. 1 ft. or less high, simple or forked; fls. blue, 2 in. 

 across; outer segms. obovate, with white claw; inner segms. oblan- 

 ceolate, acute. Prairies, Texas. B.M. 3862. H. Wdtsonii, Baker. 

 Lower: fls. purple; outer segms. oblanceolate, 1 in.; inner segms. 

 obovate, %in. long. Damp prairies, Texas. L H B 



HERBS, Pot: Greens. Salad: Greens and Salad Plants. 



HERCULES' CLUB: Aralia spinosa; also Zanthoxylum Clava- 

 Herculis. 



HERfNCQUIA: Gesneria. The plant once known in horti- 

 cultural literature as H. floribunda is probably Gesneria libanensis. 



HERITIERA (Charles Louis L'Heritier de Brutelle, 

 174&-1800, French botanist). Sterculiacese. About 4 

 species of trees on the tropical seacoasts of the Old 

 World, little known horticulturally : Ivs. thick, simple, 

 entire, silvery or shining beneath: fls. small, unisexual, 

 in axillary panicles; calyx 4-6-toothed or -cleft; petals 

 none; stamens united into a column, bearing 5 anthers 

 at top; ovaries mostly 5, nearly free, bearing short 

 style and 5 stigmas: carpels woody and indehiscent 

 when ripe, cornered, keeled or winged. Called "looking- 

 glass tree," from the shining under-surface of the Ivs. 

 H. littordlis, Dry. Moderate-sized tree: Ivs. oblong, 

 acute, 3-8 in. long: staminate fls. small, in axillary 

 branched clusters, with an urn-shaped downy calyx; 

 pistillate fls. larger with bell-shaped calyx: carpels or 

 follicles 1-4 in. long, smooth or tubercled. Afr., Asia, 

 Pacific islands. L, jj_ B_ 



HERMANNIA (Paul Hermann, 1646-1695, botanical 

 traveler, professor of medicine at Leyden). Stercu- 

 liacese. Shrubs, mostly small, growing chiefly in Afr., 

 but a few in Amer. from Texas south, some 150 species 

 in all. They are little known horticulturally. Lvs. 

 alternate, entire, toothed or pinnatifid, sometimes 

 laciniate: fls. many, yellow, orange, cream-color or 

 reddish, on axillary peduncles or panicled; calyx cam- 

 panulate, 5-cleft, often inflated, without involucre; 

 petals 5, clawed; stamens 5, standing opposite the 

 petals, the filaments joined at the base: fr. a coriaceous 

 5-celled and 5-valved many-seeded caps. H. texana,
