-Herbertia (Wm. Herbert, 1778-1847, Dean of Manchester, distinguished botanist, author of "Amaryllidaceae," and ardent lover of bulbs). Iridaceae. Bulbous plants, native from Texas to Chile and southern Brazil, with fugitive blue or lilac flowers borne in summer; allied to Tigridia.
+{{Inc|Herbertia (Wm. Herbert, 1778-1847, Dean of Manchester, distinguished botanist, author of "Amaryllidaceae," and ardent lover of bulbs). Iridaceae. Bulbous plants, native from Texas to Chile and southern Brazil, with fugitive blue or lilac flowers borne in summer; allied to Tigridia.
 Stems simple or forking, from a tunicated corm: lvs. mostly basal, few, long and narrow, somewhat folded or plicate: fls. several from a single terminal spathe, pedicelled; perianth showy, without tube and segms. 6 in 2 very unlike series, the inner being much smaller; stamens 3, united by then filaments into a tube; ovary long, 3-celled; styles partially united, the 3 branches forked: fr. an oblong loculicidally 3-valved exserted caps., with many small angled seeds.— About a half-dozen species, of secondary value horticulturally. There is some confusion in the generic name; but the situation is: Herbertia, Sweet, 1827; Alophia, Herbert, 1838; Trifurcia, Herbert, 1840. The herbertias thrive in usual garden soils; sometimes started in coldframes; prop, by seeds and offsets.
-H. amatorum, C. H. Wright. Bulb or corm globose, with brown scales: lvs. lanceolate, acuminate, plicate, 8 in. long: scape 18 in. very slender, branched: spathes herbaceous, the inner twice longer than outer: fls. violet; perianth 2 in. across; outer segms. with white midrib inside, 3 times longer than inner, the latter brown- spotted at base. Uruguay.—H. caerulea, Herb.=H. drummondiana. H. drummondtina, Herb. Corm small and ovoid, with brown tunics: st. 1 ft. or less high, simple or forked; fls. blue, 2 in. across; outer segms. obovate, with white claw; inner aegms. oblanceolate, acute. Prairies, Texas. B.M. 3862.—H. watsonii, Baker. Lower: fls. purple; outer segms. oblanceolate, 1 in.; inner segms. obovate, ¼ in. long. Damp prairies, Texas. L. H. B.
