Hypoxis (old Greek name, of no application to these plants). Amaryllidaceae. Star-grass. About 50 species of little herbs of temperate and tropical regions, with linear lvs., hard rootstocks or corns, perianth adnate to the ovary, and anthers not versatile: stem- less: fls. few, on slender scapes. They are scarcely known in cult., although the common species of the northern states, H. hirsuta, Coville (H. erecta, Linn.), Fig. 1942, is offered by dealers in native plants. The lvs. are radical, hairy, grass-like: fls. 1-6, small, star-like, bright yellow, on scapes 4-10 in. tall. Give a half- shady place in the rockery or border. Prop, by division. Blooms in spring. Not showy, but interesting. H. stellata, Linn. f..from S. Afr., is a pretty greenhouse bulb, blooming in Dec.: lvs. 4-12. glabrous, a foot or less long: peduncles sometimes forked, 1-4, bearing fls. white inside, and the outer segms. green-striped on the back: corm globose: plant variable.L.H.B.
