Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Ornithogalum thyrsoides Jacq. named ‘Damascus’ originated as a controlled cross between the commercial cultivar Ornithogalum thyrsoides Jacq. ‘Chesapeake Snowflake’ and an unnamed Ornithogalum thyrsoides Jacq. cultivar. The cultivar ‘Damascus’ has R.H.S. 155 A (white group) tepals at maturity and is distinguished from other similar cultivars of which the inventor is aware by its erect racemes, wide leaves that lay flat and its suitability for growth in pots.
