Camassia (Llllaceae). C. leichtlinii and its var. suksdorfii gave the same results. Both germ. best in 40(100% in 5-14 w) using either fresh seed or seed DS 6 m at 70 or 40. A preliminary 3 m at 70 lowered the percent germination to as low as 40% in one sample. Germination is hypogeal. The leaf does not develop properly unless the seedling is kept at least 2 m at 40 after germination.
