H. diptera |South-eastern |White; |Not a common species, and
|United States |late |dwarfer than H. tetraptera.
| |Spring |The flowers are white,
| | |Snowdrop-like, and are
| | |borne on slender pendulous
| | |stalks as in H. tetraptera;
| | |they differ, however, in
| | |having the corolla almost
| | |lobed to the base. Very
| | |distinctive is the
| | |seed-vessel, which has but
| | |two prominent wings, the
| | |other two being only
| | |rudimentary. Whilst not
| | |perhaps equal in merit to
| | |H. tetraptera this species
| | |appears to have been
| | |undeservedly neglected. Its
| | |dwarf bushy habit will also
| | |render it more suitable for
| | |some positions; it loves
| | |abundant moisture at the
| | |root. It blossoms rather
| | |later than H. tetraptera.

H. hispida |China and Japan.|White |This belongs to the Asiatic
