Urceocharis (from the genera Urceolina and Eucharis). Amaryllidaceae. A hybrid between Urceolina pendula and Eucharis grandiflora, or in gardener's language Urceolina aurea and Eucharis amazonica. A flower of the hybrid and of each of its parents is shown in Fig. 3886. It is a tender winter-blooming bulbous plant with broad lvs. a foot long and half as wide, and large white bell-shaped 6-lobed fls. a dozen or so in an umbel, and each 2 in. across. The hybrid gets its white color from Eucharis, the fls. of Urceolina being yellow. The shape of its fl. is so singular a mixture of the two as to be very different in appearance from either. The hybrid lacks the beautiful staminal cup of Eucharis, and has a distinctly bell-shaped perianth. The showy part of Urceolina is the urn-shaped portion of the fl., the spreading tips being very short. The perianth of Eucharis is funnelform, the spreading portion being large and showy. The perianth-tube and ovary of the hybrid are like those of Urceolina, the ovary being deeply 3-lobed instead of globose as in Eucharis. The pedicels are ascending, as in Eucharis, not pendulous as in Urceolina. The appendages at the base of the stamens are more distinctly marked than in either of the parents. This bigeneric hybrid was intro. to the trade under the name of Eucharis Clibranii, but the changes wrought in the structure of the fl. by the cross are so great that Dr. Masters was justified in giving the plant a new genus.
