About Milla biflora Cav.
Milla biflora Cav., commonly known as Mexican star, is a species of flowering plant. It is native to Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, and grows at elevations between 1,000–2,700 m (3,300–8,900 ft). It is a perennial plant that grows from a corm measuring 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) across, and flowers in the summer. Inflorescences holding 1–9 white flowers develop on scapes that are 4–55 cm (1.6–21.7 in) long. Plants produce 2–10 narrow leaves; each leaf is 1 mm (0.04 in) wide, and ranges from half to the full length of the scape. Its fruits are ovoid capsules that are 1.5–2 cm (0.6–0.8 in) long.
