Hookera pauciflora (Torrey) Tidestrom   The Desert Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Wtshington  is located near Tucson, Arizona, high up on a small desert mountain  notable for its profusion of cactuses and other strange plants which  are able to exist with a minimum of water. Among the sun-baked  rocks grow many clusterlilies, which are always attractive in their  dainty beauty. Their bulbs, sunk deep in soil, enable the plant to live  from one blooming season to another.   The genus of the Lily Family to which clusterlily belongs contains  many species restricted to Western North America, and occurring  mainly in California, but the present species grows in Arizona and  New Mexico. The technical name of this genus was given in honor  of Sir William Jackson Hooker, one of the most eminent of English  botanists.
