Bravoa (Bravo, Mexican botanist). Amaryllidaceae. A small genus, much resembling in some of its species the tuberose (Polianthes), and hardly distinct from it. Stems slender, from small thickened rootstocks: Ivs. mostly basal: infl. a lax spike or raceme; fls. always in pairs, more or less bent or curved; stamens 6, included within the perianth-tube: fr. 3-celled, many-seeded. Native of the mountain and tableland region of Mex.— Five species have been described formerly, but recent explorations have discovered some 5 or 6 additional species. While the flowers are not so showy as the common tuberose, yet the genus should be found in every choice bulb collection. Only one species has been cultivated to any extent, and even this species is not well known. As the species often grow in the high mountains of Mexico, they ought to be hardy in the southern stretches of the temperate zone. B. Bulliana, Baker. Basal Ivs. described as lanceolate, 1-1 ½ in. broad: fls. in 5 or 6 pairs, white. Seemingly too near the little-known Polianthes mexicana. Not in cult.—B. sessiliflora. B.densiflora, and B. singuliflora, are rare species, only known from herbarium specimens. The latter two, however, should probably be excluded from this group.
