Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Nemastylis (Greek, thread-like styles, because the styles are not united). Syn., Nemastylus. Iridaceae. Tender American bulbs, with blue six-lobed flowers about an inch across which last only a day. Erect plants, with slender, usually branched sts.: root-lvs. linear: spathes 1 or more, peduncled: fls. rather large, more than 1 to a spathe; perianth of 6 segms. without a tube; inner segms. a little smaller than the outer; ovary 3-cclled; filaments more or less united; anthers short; ovules many, superposed: style-branches alternate with the anthers: caps, loculicidally 3-valyed, oblong, ovoid or obovoid.—Strictly, Nemastylis is a genus of 3 species, found only in the S. U. S. and characterized by having the filaments nearly free. Baker, however, in his Handbook of the Irideae, includes Chlamydostylis as a submenus of 17 species found from Mex. to S. Amer. and characterized by having the filaments united in a column to the summit. Some of the following species have been rarely advertised by dealers in native plants; the others by Dutch bulb-growers. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
