Text Appearing Before Image:
e havetherefore called our species the Large-Flowered CaliforniaHyacinth, although with some reluctance, for we have shownon a previous page that Hyacinth is hardly appropriate forour flower, and a similar objection might be raised against thespecific name. At the time when our plant was named, theepithet large-flowered might have done very well, but sincethen other species of the same genus have been discovered,which may well claim that they have as good a right to thisdesignation as the present species. Dr. Torrey and other botanists report that several varietiesof our flower are found in a wild state, and it is quite likely thatthe Brodiaa grandijlora might rival the Hyacinth in this respect,both in form and in color, if skilful cultivators should take it inhand.
