Notholirion Thomsonianum
''Notholirion'' is a small Asian genus of bulbous plants in the lily family, Liliaceae. It is closely related to Lilium, but each individual flowers only once, and then dies after producing offsets. The bulb is covered by a tunic. Leaves are basal, produced in autumn and winter. Taxonomy Baker (1874) considered ''Notholirion'' to be a subgenus of ''Fritillaria'', but Boissier (1884) separated it as a distinct genus. The evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships between the genera currently included in Liliaceae are shown in the following Cladogram: Species List of species: * '' Notholirion bulbiferum'' (Lingelsh.)

Notholirion Macrophyllum
''Notholirion macrophyllum'' is a species of flowering plant in the lily family, Liliaceae. They are bulbous flowering plants originating in Asia. ''N. macrophyllum'' is the smallest species in the family, with a height of 20–25 cm. The leaves are basal, 30–40 cm long and about 2 cm wide. from June to August ''N. macrophyllum'' produces a racemose inflorescence bearing 2–4 (occasionally 6) pale violet to purple or red, bell-shaped, hermaphrodite, flowers with dark purple flecks in the throat, about 5 cm in length. After flowering the plant produces a capsular fruit. Distribution The area of distribution includes Tibet, Nepal, Sichuan, Yunnan, Bhutan, and Sikkim Sikkim (; ) is a state in Northeastern India.

North America
North America is a continent in the Northern Hemisphere and almost entirely within the Western Hemisphere. It is bordered to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the southeast by South America and the Caribbean Sea, and to the west and south by the Pacific Ocean. Because it is on the North American Plate, North American Tectonic Plate, Greenland is included as a part of North America geographically. North America covers an area of about , about 16.5% of Earth's land area and about 4.8% of its total surface. North America is the third-largest continent by area, following Asia and Africa, and the list of continents and continental subregions by population, fourth by population after Asia, Africa, and Europe. In 2013, its population was estimated at nearly 579 million people in List of sovereign states and dependent territories in North America, 23 independent states, or about 7.5% of the world's population.

Gagea
''Gagea'' is a large genus of spring flowers in the lily family. It is found primarily in Eurasia with a few species extending into North Africa and one species (''Gagea serotina'') in North America. The genus is named after the English naturalist Sir Thomas Gage (1791-1820). They were originally described as species of ''Ornithogalum'', which, together with the usual yellow colour of the flowers, explains the English name yellow star-of-Bethlehem for the common European species, ''Gagea lutea''. p. 25.

Tulipeae
The Tulipeae ( syn. Tulipoideae) Duby is a tribe of monocotyledon perennial, herbaceous mainly bulbous flowering plants in the Liliaceae (lily) family. As originally conceived by Duby (1828), "Tulipaceae" was a tribe within Liliaceae, consisting of the genera ''Tulipa'', ''Fritillaria'' and Lilium. Description Herbaceous non-climbing bulbous plants. Bulbs consisting of a single scale. Anthers pseudo-basifixed. fruit consists of a loculicidal capsule, seeds not winged. Tetrasporic embryo-sac formation with 7–8 nuclei. Nucella having a short base. Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) non-''Clintonia'' type. Chromosomes large - 2–11 μm (1–6 μm in ''Gagea''). Genome size (3)4–25(70) pg, x = (9)12. Polyploidy common. Taxonomy Tulipeae remained a core group of the Liliaceae, containing the type genus, Lilium for most of its taxonomic history. For instance, Bentham and Hooker (1883), placed ''Lilium'' together with ''Tulipa'' and five other genera in Liliaceae trib ...

Lilieae
The Lilieae are a monophyletic tribe of monocotyledon perennial, herbaceous mainly bulbous flowering plants in the lily family (Liliaceae). Taxonomy The term has varied over the years but in modern classification constitutes either a broad circumscription (Lilieae ''sensu lato'', ''s.l.'') with eight genera, placed in the subfamily Lilioideae, or narrower circumscription with six genera (Lilieae ''sensu stricto'', ''s.s.''), excluding ''Tulipa'' (which now includes '' Amana'') and ''Erythronium'' which are treated as a separate tribe, Tulipeae. Within Lilieae ''s.s.'', ''Gagea'' now includes '' Lloydia'', and ''Lilium'' includes ''Nomocharis'', reducing the number of genera to four, with about 260–300 species. Phylogeny The evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships between the genera currently included in Liliaceae are shown in this cladogram. Distribution and habitat Lilieae ''s.s.'' are distributed in temperate Northern Hemisphere areas, with the main centre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Medeola
''Medeola virginiana'', known as Indian cucumber, cucumber root, or Indian cucumber-root, is an eastern North American plant species in the lily family, Liliaceae. It is the only currently recognized plant species in the genus ''Medeola''. It grows in the understory of forests. The plant bears edible rhizomes that have a mild cucumber-like flavor. Description ''Medeola virginiana'' shoots consist of two tiers of whorled leaves. The lower tier typically bears between five and nine (occasionally up to 12) lance shaped leaves. The upper tier bears three to five ovate leaves. The leaves have an entire (smooth) margin. Some individuals lack a second tier of whorled leaves. The second tier is produced when the plant flowers. When two-tiered, plants grow to high. The flowers have yellowish green tepals and appear in late spring. The fruit is a dark blue to purple, inedible berry above the top tier of leaves. Indian cucumber-root shoots arise each spring from an overwintering tuberlike ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clintonia
''Clintonia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the lily family Liliaceae. Plants of the genus are distributed across the temperate regions of North America and eastern Asia, in the mesic understory of deciduous or coniferous forests. The genus, first described by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque in 1818, was named for DeWitt Clinton (1769–1828), a naturalist and politician from the U.S. state of New York. For this reason, plants of the genus are commonly known as Clinton's lily. The common name bluebead (and by extension bluebead lily) refer to the distinctive fruit of members of the genus. Since fruit color varies somewhat across species, the common name bead lily is used as well. Description The genus ''Clintonia'' is morphologically diverse. Species are herbaceous perennial plants growing from rhizomatous underground stems with thin, fibrous roots. They grow from 1.5 to 8 dm tall. They have 2 to 6 basal leaves arising from the rhizome crown, the basal leaves are ses ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Medeoleae
The Medeoloideae (syn. Medeoleae) are a subfamily of monocotyledon perennial, herbaceous mainly bulbous flowering plants in the lily family, Liliaceae. Description The Medeoleae are characterised by rhizomatous stems, inconspicuous flowers, the formation of berries that are animal dispersed and broad reticulate-veined leaves. Taxonomy In the most recent taxonomy of the AP Web system, this subfamily has been downgraded to a tribe, Medeoleae, within the subfamily Lilioideae. The taxon In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit.

Lilioideae
The Lilioideae are a subfamily of monocotyledonous perennial, herbaceous mainly bulbous flowering plants in the lily family, Liliaceae. They are found predominantly in the temperate and colder regions of the Northern Hemisphere, particularly East Asia and North America. The subfamily includes two tribes. They are of economic importance, particularly the lilies and tulips. Description Lilioideae genera are relatively homogeneous and distinct from the other two Liliaceae subfamilies (Calochortoideae and Streptopoideae). They are perennial herbaceous flowering plants that are mainly bulbous (Lilieae) with contractile roots, but may be rhizomatous (Medeoleae). Stems unbranched, leaves with parallel venation. Flowers are large and showy. The embryo sac (megagametophyte) is of the Fritillaria-type (tetrasporic). Capsule septicidal, seeds often flattened, exotesta palisaded or lignified. The seeds of Medeoleae are striate. Chromosome number may be 7 (Medeoleae), 9, or 11–14, with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Calochortus
''Calochortus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the lily family. The group includes herbaceous, perennial and bulbous species, all native to North America (primarily the Western United States). The genus ''Calochortus'' includes mariposas (or mariposa lilies) with open wedge-shaped petals, globe lilies and fairy lanterns with globe-shaped flowers, and cat's ears and star tulips with erect pointed petals. The word ''Calochortus'' is derived from Greek and means "beautiful grass". Description ''Calochortus'' flowers have six tepals. Unlike most other Liliaceae, ''Calochortus'' tepals are in two series that differ in size and color. The outer three are generally narrower and more sepal-like, while the inner three are larger, usually with bright marks at the base. They may be described as petals. The flowers are borne on a stem that arises from a bulb, generally in the spring or early summer. Flowers can be white, yellow, pink, purple, bluish, or streaked. The insides of the p ...

Scoliopus
''Scoliopus'', or fetid adderstongue, is a genus of plant within the family Liliaceae consisting of two species, '' Scoliopus bigelovii'' and '' S. hallii.'' Both are found in deep shaded forests, primarily in the coastal counties of the western United States from central California to northern Oregon. The name "''Scoliopus''" derives from the Greek words ''skolios'' and ''pous'', meaning curved foot, a reference to the shape of the pedicel. Taxonomists believe that ''Scoliopus'' is closely related to ''Calochortus'', ''Prosartes'', '' Streptopus'' and '' Tricyrtis'', which all have creeping rhizomes as well as styles that divide at the tip. Description ''Scoliopus'' has two mottled leaves at its base and a long pedicel that, over time, bends and twists so that the fruit touches the ground. The flowers, which bloom in the late winter and early spring, are pale green or yellow when fresh, lined with narrow purple or dark brown veins, with wide, spreading sepals and narrower petals ...

Prosartes
''Prosartes'', the fairybells, is a North American genus of flowering plants in the lily family. For several decades plants of this genus were considered part of the otherwise Asian genus ''Disporum''. Studies of morphology and cytology, as well as genetic analysis, show these North American plants to be different from the Asian species, and in 1995 the two groups began to be recognized as distinct genera. ''Prosartes'' included five species until 2010, when a sixth, ''Prosartes parvifolia'', long considered a variant of ''Prosartes hookeri'', or perhaps a hybrid, was acknowledged as a distinct species.Mesler, M., et al. (2010). A resurrection for Siskiyou Bells, ''Prosartes parvifolia'' (Liliaceae), a rare Siskiyou Mountains endemic. ''Madroño'' 57:2 129-35.
