Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Ixia campanulata Houtt. var. alba

See Ixia campanulata Houtt. for a description and discussion.  Alba is presumably a pure white-flowered variety of Ixia campanulata, without the usual red or crimson flushing.
