A genus of tall South African plants with bell-shaped white flowers that bloom in late summer.
Named after Sir Francis Galton, a 19th-century English scientist and statistician, using the Latinized -ia ending for plant genus names.
Galtonia candicans is called 'summer hyacinth' and was one of the first African plants to become hugely popular in Victorian gardens—it's like a time capsule of botanical exploration!
