Herbaceous, with a cormed base, used for outdoor planting: lvs. few, radical: scape simple, leafless, often twining several feet fls. rose, numerous in a terminal umbel; perianth urn-shaped, 6-lobed; stamens 3; ovary sessile, ovoid, 3-celled: caps. included in the persistent calyx, globose. — One species, Calif. Very like Brodiaea, and sometimes referred to that genus, but differing in always having 3 stamens and a perianth which is contracted at the throat and saccate at the base. S. californicum, Torr. (Brodiaea volubilis, Baker). Fig. 3740 (adapted from Pacific R. R. Rep.). In many ways it resembles Brevoortia Ida-Maia, except that the scape is climbing to a height of 3-4 ft., and bearing an umbel of delicate rosy pink fls. The scape twines readily about any stick or bush that stands near it. Lvs. 1 ft. or more long, keeled, 1/2 in. or less broad: corm about 1 in. diam. Cent. Calif. B.M. 6123. G.C. III. 20:687.
