Babiana
''Babiana'' ()''Sunset Western Garden Book'', 1995:606–607 is a genus of geophytes in the family Iridaceae with 93 recognized species . The leaves consist of a stalk and a blade that are at an angle to each other. The leaf blades are entire, laterally flattened and pleated, and often hairy. Each individual flower is subtended by two hairy or smooth bracts that are green in most species. The outer bract is often the largest of the two. In most species the bracts have a dry, brown tip, but in a few species it is entirely green or entirely dry when flowering or the outer bract is translucent and has a papery texture. The inner bract (between the flower and the stem) is forked or split all the way to its base. Each flower is without a pedicel, with six tepals that are merged at their base into a tube and form a perianth that is mirror-symmetrical in most species, with three anthers implanted where the perianth tube widens and that are, in almost every species, clustered at one side o ...

Babiana Sambucina
''Babiana sambucina'' is a species of geophyte of high that is assigned to the family Iridaceae. It has dense spikes of blue to violet-coloured, often fragrant flowers. There are two subspecies, ''B. sambucina'' subsp. ''longibracteata'' is restricted to a small area in the Northern Cape, ''B. sambucina'' subsp. ''sambucina'' grows in the Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa. Flowers are present in August and September. Description Babiana sambucina is a plant that emerges from a globe-shaped corm within a fibrous covering and grows to high. Each year it produces up to six, lance- to line-shaped, variably pleated, variably hairy leaf blades, at least silky at their base, which are at an angle with the leaf stalk and reach higher than the inflorescence. Each flower is subtended by two bracts, the outer bract long, slightly larger than and clasping the inner bract. Both bracts are green with rust-brown tips. The inner bracts are forked only at the tips. Somet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Babiana Nana
''Babiana nana'' is a species of geophyte of high that is assigned to the family Iridaceae. It has leaves that consist of a sheath and a blade that are at an angle with each other. The leaf blades are oval to almost line-shaped and have a left and right surface, rather than an upper and lower surface. The leaf blades are moderately pleated and covered in dense, soft hairs. The inflorescence contains two to six blue to violet or pale pink flowers adorned with white markings on the lower lip, and with three stamens crowding under the upper lip. Flowering occurs from late August to the end of September. The flowers emit a smell reminiscent of roses or violets. Description ''Babiana nana'' is a geophytic perennial plant of high. Most of its stem can be found underground and can be branched. The plants lack a fibrous collar around the stem that is visible at the surface of the soil, but the stem appears above the ground. The leaves consist of a sheath that encloses the sheaths of h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Babiana Brachystachys
''Babiana brachystachys'' is a species of geophyte of high that is assigned to the family Iridaceae. It has cream or pale pink, only slightly mirror-symmetrical flowers that are pink on the reverse with a long narrow tube that splits into six tepal lobes, three stamens, a style that divides in three branches opposite the tip of the anthers and line-shaped leaves that are circular in cross section. It is an endemic species of South Africa that can be found on sandy hills and inland dunes in the Northern Cape province. It flowers in September and October. Description ''Babiana brachystachys'' is a geophyte with an underground corm from which annually the leaves and stems appear above ground, forming a plant of high. The lowest, reduced leaves or cataphylls are covered in cobweb-like hairs. The stem is mostly underground and rarely branches. Unique among ''Babiana'' species, it has leaf blades that are line-shaped, circular in cross section with several grooves along its length ...

Iridaceae
Iridaceae is a family of plants in order Asparagales, taking its name from the irises, meaning rainbow, referring to its many colours. There are 66 accepted genera with a total of c. 2244 species worldwide (Christenhusz & Byng 2016). It includes a number of other well known cultivated plants, such as freesias, gladioli and crocuses. Members of this family are perennial plants, with a bulb, corm or rhizome. The plants grow erect, and have leaves that are generally grass-like, with a sharp central fold. Some examples of members of this family are the blue flag and yellow flag. Name and history The family name is based on the genus ''Iris'', the largest and best known genus in Europe. This genus dates from 1753, when it was coined by Swedish botanist, Carl Linnaeus. Its name derives from the Greek goddess, Iris, who carried messages from Olympus to earth along a rainbow, whose colours were seen by Linnaeus in the multi-hued petals of many of the species. The family is current ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
