Hybrid Tigridias 



The word tigridia or tiger flower, would suggest a striped 

 flower, whereas in point of fact this flower is spotted. Mr. Bur- 

 bank suggests that the word "leopard" or "panther" would have been 

 more appropriate; and that the term "jaguar flower" would 

 have been still more significant, inasmuch as the tigridias 

 come from South America, the home of the jaguar. 

 The specimens here shown are hybrids of a 

 very interesting type,
