Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Clintonia (after DeWitt Clinton, the famous Governor of New York and promoter of the Erie Canal). Liliaceae. A small group of low-growing, herbaceous plants of North America and Asia, with a few tufted, broad shining leaves, and usually umbels of flowers. Perianth-segms. equal or nearly so; stamens 6, inserted at the base of the perianth-segms.: ovary 2-3- celled with 2 to several ovules in each cavity: fls. on scapes: root-stocks slender: fr. a globose or oval berry. For C. pulchella and other species of the abandoned genus Clintonia of Hort., see Downingia a very different genus belonging to Campanulaceae. Clintonias grow in cool, moist woods, and fanciers can secure them from some dealers in native plants. It is difficult to tell the species apart by the leaves.
