“A genus of plants of the natural order Melanthaceae. The species, which are few in number, are stemless, with flowers half subterranean like the crocus, the limb of the perianth and part of the tube only rising above ground. The floews much resemble crocus-flowers, but are readily distinguished by having six instead of three stamens, and three styles instead of one.” — Chambers’ Encyclopedia, 1875
