Johann Gerhard König
Johann Gerhard König (29 November 1728 – 26 June 1785) was a Baltic German botanist and physician who served in the Tranquebar Mission, India before joining service under the Nawab of Arcot, and then the English East India Company. He collected natural history specimens including plants, particularly those of medical interest, from the region and several species are named after him including the curry tree ''(Murraya'' ''koenigii).'' Biography König was born near ''Kreutzburg'' in Polish Livonia, which is now Krustpils in Latvia. He was a private pupil of Carl Linnaeus in 1757, and lived in Denmark from 1759 to 1767 during which time he examined the plants of Iceland. In 1767 he joined as a medical officer to the Tranquebar Mission and on his voyage to India, he passed through Cape Town where he met Governor Rijk Tulbagh with an introduction from Linnaeus, collecting plants in the Table Mountain region from 1 to 28 April 1768. König replaced the position made available ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Plants Known As Lily
Lily usually refers to herbaceous plants of the genus ''Lilium'', with large showy trumpet-shaped flowers. Many species are cultivated as ornamentals. Many other plants not closely related to lilies are called lilies, usually because their flowers resemble lilies. They include:- * African lily, ''Agapanthus africanus'' * Amazon lily, '' Eucharis'' species * Arum lily, Araceae, ''Arum'' species * Autumn zephyrlily, ''Zephyranthes candida'' * Aztec lily, ''Sprekelia'' species * Bead lily: ** ''Clintonia'' ** '' Clintonia andrewsiana'' ** ''Clintonia borealis'' ** '' Clintonia uniflora'' * Belladonna lily, ''Amaryllis'' * Blackberry lily, '' Belamcanda'' * Blood lily: ** ''Haemanthus'' ** ''Scadoxus'' * Blue lily: ** ''Agapanthus praecox'' ** ''Nymphaea caerulea'' ** '' Nymphaea violacea'' ** '' Stypandra glauca'' (nodding blue lily) ** '' Thelionema caespitosum'' (tufted blue lily) ** ''Triteleia grandiflora'' * Bluebead lily: ** ''Clintonia'' ** '' Clintonia andrewsiana'' ** ''Clinto ...

Vivipary
In plants, vivipary occurs when seeds or embryos begin to develop before they detach from the parent. Plants such as some Iridaceae and Agavoideae grow cormlets in the axils of their inflorescences. These fall and in favourable circumstances they have effectively a whole season's start over fallen seeds. Similarly, some Crassulaceae, such as Bryophyllum, develop and drop plantlets from notches in their leaves, ready to grow. Such production of embryos from somatic tissues is asexual vegetative reproduction that amounts to cloning. Description Most seed-bearing fruits produce a hormone that suppresses germination until after the fruit or parent plant dies, or the seeds pass through an animal's digestive tract. At this stage, the hormone's effect will dissipate and germination will occur once conditions are suitable. Some species lack this suppressant hormone as a central part of their reproductive strategy. For example, fruits that develop in climates without large seasonal variat ...

Bulbil
A bulbil (also referred to as bulbel, bulblet, and/or pup) is a small, young plant that is reproduced vegetatively from axillary buds on the parent plant's stem or in place of a flower on an inflorescence. These young plants are clones of the parent plant that produced them—they have identical genetic material. The formation of bulbils is a form of asexual reproduction, as they can eventually go on to form new stand-alone plants. Although some bulbils meet the botanical criterion to be considered a true bulb, there are a variety of different morphological forms of bulbils, some of which are not considered to be bulbs. Hence the reason for distinction between bulbs and bulbils. For example, some bulbous plant groups, like onions and lilies, produce bulbils in the form of a secondary, small bulb. Onion and lily bulbils meet the botanical criterion to be labeled a true bulb. All bulbils produced by bulbous plants are to be considered bulbs, but not all bulbils are to be consid ...

Hedychium Ziroense
''Hedychium'' is a genus of flowering plants in the ginger family Zingiberaceae, native to lightly wooded habitats in Asia.

Hedychium Gardnerianum
''Hedychium gardnerianum'', the Kahili ginger, Kahila garland-lily or ginger lily, is a species of flowering plant in the ginger family Zingiberaceae, native to the Himalayas in India, Nepal, and Bhutan. It is an erect herbaceous perennial growing to tall with long, bright green leaves clasping the tall stems. The very fragrant pale yellow and red flowers are held in dense spikes above the foliage. They appear towards the end of summer. Cultivation ''Hedychium gardnerianum'' is cultivated as an ornamental plant in gardens and parks. It prefers a warm tropical climate, although it can thrive in sub-tropical and temperate regions as it tolerates occasional frosts. In the UK it has been given the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. It is best grown in a warm, sheltered spot where temperatures do not fall below freezing, and is given a deep mulch during the winter months. Alternatively it can be grown under glass in a well-lit conservatory or greenhouse. Invasiv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hedychium Flavescens
''Hedychium flavescens'' is a perennial flowering plant from the Zingiberaceae (the ginger family). It is native to the Himalayas, Sichuan, and northern Vietnam, and naturalized in various other lands (South Africa, Madagascar, Mauritius, India, Sri Lanka, French Polynesia, Hawaii, etc.). Commonly known as cream garland-lily or yellow ginger, it grows up to high. It is extremely shade-tolerant, and thrives in a wide range of soils. Since it has the ability to regrow from even a small fragment of the rhizome, which survive crushing, immersion in sea water, and even years outside of soil, elimination can be a problem. It is treated as an invasive weed in New Zealand New Zealand ( mi, Aotearoa ) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It consists of two main landmasses—the North Island () and the South Island ()—and over 700 smaller islands. It is the sixth-largest island count ... because of its ability to displace other species.
