''Boophone'' is a small genus of herbaceous, perennial and bulbous plants in the Amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae.) It consists of two confirmed species distributed across South Africa to Kenya and Uganda. It is closely related to '' Crossyne'', a genus whose species have prostrate leaves. They are drought tolerant but not cold-hardy, and are very poisonous to livestock. Taxonomy ''Boophone'' is the single genus in subtribe Boophoninae, in the Amaryllideae tribe.

Boophone Haemanthoides
''Boophone haemanthoides'' is a plant species native to Namibia and the Cape Provinces of South Africa. It is a bulb-forming herb with more than half of its scaly bulb appearing above ground. It produces a rather large umbel In botany, an umbel is an inflorescence that consists of a number of short flower stalks (called pedicels) that spread from a common point, somewhat like umbrella ribs. The word was coined in botanical usage in the 1590s, from Latin ''umbella'' "p ... of pink flowers with narrow tepals.

''Crossyne'' is a genus of African plants in the Amaryllidaceae, Amaryllis family. Taxonomy and features There are two known species, both of which are native to Cape Province in South Africa: ''Crossyne Salisb''., Gen.

From the age of some four to six years however, the bulbs become large enough to produce broad, flat, prostrate leaves that compete well for space by growing over small neighbours.

Amaryllideae
Amaryllideae are a tribe of subfamily Amaryllidoideae (family Amaryllidaceae). They are herbaceous monocot perennial flowering plants with a predominantly Southern African distribution, with the exception of the pantropical genus ''Crinum''. They are generally treated as consisting of four subtribes. In addition to ''Crinum'', other genera include ''Amaryllis'', ''Boophone'' and '' Strumaria''. Taxonomy Phylogeny The placement of Amaryllideae within subfamily Amaryllidoideae is shown in the following cladogram: Subdivision There are four subtribes: * Amaryllidinae Pax * Boophoninae D.Müll.-Doblies & U.Müll.-Doblies * Crininae Baker * Strumariinae Traub ex D.Müll.-Doblies & U.Müll.-DobliesBot.

William Herbert (botanist)
The Hon. William Herbert (12 January 1778 – 28 May 1847) was a British botanist, botanical illustrator, poet, and clergyman. He served as a member of parliament for Hampshire from 1806 to 1807, and for Cricklade from 1811 to 1812. His botanical writings are noted for his treatment of Amaryllidaceae. Life He was the third son and fifth child of Henry Herbert, 1st Earl of Carnarvon, by Lady Elizabeth Alicia Maria, eldest daughter of Charles Wyndham, 2nd Earl of Egremont. He was born on 12 January 1778, and was educated at Eton College.

Herb
In general use, herbs are a widely distributed and widespread group of plants, excluding vegetables and other plants consumed for macronutrients, with savory or aromatic properties that are used for flavoring and garnishing food, for medicinal purposes, or for fragrances. Culinary use typically distinguishes herbs from spices. ''Herbs'' generally refers to the leafy green or flowering parts of a plant (either fresh or dried), while ''spices'' are usually dried and produced from other parts of the plant, including seeds, bark, roots and fruits. Herbs have a variety of uses including culinary, medicinal, aromatic and in some cases, spiritual. General usage of the term "herb" differs between culinary herbs and medicinal herbs; in medicinal or spiritual use, any parts of the plant might be considered as "herbs", including leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, root bark, inner bark (and cambium), resin and pericarp. The word "herb" is pronounced in Commonwealth English, but is comm ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
