Lilium
''Lilium'' () is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs, all with large prominent flowers. They are the true lilies. Lilies are a group of flowering plants which are important in culture and literature in much of the world. Most species are native to the northern hemisphere and their range is temperate climates and extends into the subtropics. Many other plants have "lily" in their common names, but do not belong to the same genus and are therefore not true lilies. Description Lilies are tall perennials ranging in height from . They form naked or tunicless scaly underground bulbs which are their organs of perennation. In some North American species the base of the bulb develops into rhizomes, on which numerous small bulbs are found. Some species develop stolons. Most bulbs are buried deep in the ground, but a few species form bulbs near the soil surface. Many species form stem-roots. With these, the bulb grows naturally at some depth in the soil, and each ye ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nymphaea Violacea
''Nymphaea violacea'', also known as blue lily, is a waterlily in the genus '' Nymphaea''. Distribution ''Nymphaea violacea'' is found in Australia, particularly in the Western Australian Kimberley region and in northern parts of Queensland and the Northern Territory. Description The flowers are violet, blue or white. Uses The waterlily is a bush tucker of the Aboriginal people in northern Australia. The tuber, stem, flowers and seeds are all edible. Like other species in the genus, the plant contains the psychoactive alkaloid aporphine, which provide sedative effects when ingested.

Arisaema
''Arisaema'' is a large and diverse genus of the flowering plant family Araceae. The largest concentration of species is in China and Japan, with other species native to other parts of southern Asia as well as eastern and central Africa, Mexico and eastern North America. Asiatic species are often called cobra lilies, while western species are often called jack-in-the-pulpit; both names refer to the distinctive appearance of the flower, which consists of an erect central spadix rising from a spathe. Classification and relationships The closest relatives of ''Arisaema'' appear to be ''Pinellia'' and '' Typhonium'' (although the latter as defined in 2004 seems to be paraphyletic, having given rise to ''Arisaema'' and other genera). One unusual trait shared by all ''Arisaema'' species, and not those of other genera, is the ''sex change or act of Sequential hermaphroditism.'' ''Arisaema'' plants are typically male when small, and female or hermaphroditic when large, with a single p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fritillaria Lanceolata
''Fritillaria affinis'', the chocolate lily, is a highly variable species of flowering plant in the lily family Liliaceae native to western North America.

Its bulb has 60 to 100 small scales. Distributio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fritillaria Camschatcensis
''Fritillaria camschatcensis'' is a species of flowering plant native to northeastern Asia and northwestern North America, including northern Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alaska, northern Japan, and the Russian Far East (Amur, Kamchatka, Khabarovsk, Magadan, Primorye, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands). It has many common names, including Kamchatka fritillary and Kamchatka lily. It is also called rice lily, northern rice-root, or (misleadingly) Indian rice or wild rice, because of the rice-like bulblets that form around its roots. Description ''Fritillaria camschatcensis'' produces bulbs with several large fleshy scales, similar to those of commercially cultivated garlic. Leaves are lanceolate, up to 10 cm long, borne in whorls along the stem. Stem is up to 60 cm tall, with flowers at the top. Flowers are spreading or nodding (hanging downwards), dark brown, sometimes mottled with yellow.Shimizu, Tatemi. 1983. New Alpine Flora of Japan in Color 2: 358, as ''Friti ...

Fritillaria Biflora
''Fritillaria biflora'', the chocolate lily or mission bells, is a species of fritillary native to western California, US, and northern Baja California, Mexico. It occurs in the chaparral and woodlands ecoregion, often in serpentine soil formations and hillside grassland habitats. ''Fritillaria biflora'' is a bulbous herbaceous perennial up to 60 cm tall. It is called "chocolate lily" because its flowers can resemble the color of chocolate, although sometimes they are greenish purple or yellowish green. Flowers bloom in March and April. ''Fritillaria biflora'' should not be confused with '' Arthropodium strictum'', which is also called "chocolate lily". In the latter, the scent is reminiscent of chocolate, rather than the color. The Kamchatka fritillary (''F. camschatcensis'') is sometimes also called "chocolate lily" in Alaska. Varieties Two varieties are recognized: *''Fritillaria biflora'' var. ''biflora''—leaves widely lanceolate, most of the species range * ''Frit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dichopogon Strictus

Nuphar
''Nuphar'' is a genus of aquatic plants in the family Nymphaeaceae, with a temperate to subarctic Northern Hemisphere distribution. Common names include water-lily (Eurasian species; shared with many other genera in the same family), pond-lily, alligator-bonnet or bonnet lily, and spatterdock (North American species). Taxonomy The genus is closely related to '' Nymphaea''. ''Nuphar'' differs in that its petals are much smaller than its 4–6 bright yellow-coloured sepals, whereas in ''Nymphaea'', the petals are much larger than the sepals. The genera also differ in the maturation of their fruit; while maturing, ''Nuphar'' fruit remain above water level on their scapes, whereas fruit of ''Nymphaea'' sink below water level immediately after their flowers close, and there they mature. In both genera the leaves float and have a radial notch from the circumference to the point of attachment of the petiole. Depending on the species, the leaves of most species range from cordate to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
