Camassia scilloides is a perennial herb known commonly as Atlantic camas, wild hyacinth,[1] and eastern camas.[3] It is native to the eastern half of North America, including Ontario and the eastern United States.[3]
Description
[edit]The species produces inflorescences up to half a meter tall from a bulb 1–3 centimetres (0.39–1.18 in) wide.[4] It has a few leaves, each up to 20–60 cm (7.9–23.6 in) long.[4] The flowers have light blue or whitish tepals and yellow anthers. The green or brown capsule is up to a centimeter long[3] and divided into three parts.[4]
Uses
[edit]Native American groups used the bulbs for food, eating them raw, baked, roasted, boiled, or dried.[5] They can be used in place of potatoes, but could possibly be confused for poisonous deathcamas.[4]
Taxonomy
[edit]The superseded name Camassia esculenta (Ker Gawl.) B.L.Rob. (nom. illeg.)[6] should not be confused with Camassia esculenta (Nutt.) Lindl., a superseded name for Camassia quamash subsp. quamash.[7]
