Griffinia (after William Griffin, who brought these plants from Brazil). Amaryllidaceae. Brazilian bulbs, with distinct foliage, and flowers, about 2 ½ inches across, which are more or less tinged with lilac or rose. Leaves usually petioled, and with a very broad blade: perianth-tube none or very short, the 3 lower segms. narrower than the upper; ovary 3-celled; stigma capitate, rarely 3-fid; umbel 6-15-fld. Griffinia is distinguished from many other genera by its 2 ovules, which are basal and collateral.—Seven species. Like many other genera of the amaryllis family, bulbs of flowering size are too costly for general use. Very doubtfully m cult, in Amer. CH
