Cyrtanthus Elatus
''Cyrtanthus elatus'', the Scarborough lily, is a bulbous flowering plant which originates from the Cape Province of South Africa. Other common names are fire lily and George lily. Cultivars of the Scarborough lily have flowers which may be bright red, orange, yellow, or occasionally pink or white. The stems can grow to a height of . They are relatively easy to grow in a warm, sheltered, frost-free spot. Alternatively, they can be grown under glass in pots. They require either full sun or slight shade. They flower in late summer or early autumn. The Latin specific epithet ''elatus'' means “tall”. This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit (confirmed 2017). See also * 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 flow ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Narcisseae
Narcisseae is a small tribe of plants belonging to the subfamily Amaryllidoideae of the Amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae), where it forms part of the Eurasian clade, and is one of three tribes in the European (Mediterranean) clade. It contains two genera (''Narcissus'' and ''Sternbergia'') and approximately 58 species, but probably also '' Lapiedra''. The two genera are distinguished from each other by the presence of a paraperigonium in the former. Description Characterised by a solid scape and spathaceous bracts fused into a floral tube (basally connate). Taxonomy Phylogeny The placement of Narcisseae within subfamily Amaryllidoideae is shown in the following cladogram, which demonstrates a sister group relationship with Pancratieae: Subdivision Genera: * ''Narcissus'' L. * ''Sternbergia'' Waldst. & Kitaibel * ('' Lapiedra'' Lag.)

Africa
Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most populous continent, after Asia in both cases. At about 30.3 million km2 (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of Earth's total surface area and 20% of its land area.Sayre, April Pulley (1999), ''Africa'', Twenty-First Century Books. . With billion people as of , it accounts for about of the world's human population. Africa's population is the youngest amongst all the continents; the median age in 2012 was 19.7, when the worldwide median age was 30.4. Despite a wide range of natural resources, Africa is the least wealthy continent per capita and second-least wealthy by total wealth, behind Oceania. Scholars have attributed this to different factors including geography, climate, tribalism, Scramble for Africa, colonialism, the Cold War, neocolonialism, lack of democracy, and corruption. Despite this low concentration of wealth, recent economic expansion and the large and young ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hymenocallideae
Hymenocallideae is a tribe (in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae), where it forms part of the Andean clade, one of two American clades. The tribe was originally recognised by both Meerow (1995) and the Muller-Doblies' (1996). Its phylogenetic position within the Amaryllidoideae was established by Meerow ''et al.'' in 2000, while in-depth infratribal relationships were established in 2002. Taxonomy The Müller-Doblies' (1996) considered this assemblage as a subtribe, Hymenocallidinae, of tribe Eucharideae, prior to Meerow and Snijman (1998) separating them into their own tribes. Phylogeny The placement of Hymenocallideae within subfamily Amaryllidoideae is shown in the following cladogram, where this tribe is shown as a sister group In phylogenetics, a sister group or sister taxon, also called an adelphotaxon, comprises the closest relative(s) of another given unit in an evolutionary tree.

Clinantheae
Clinantheae is a tribe (in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae), where it forms part of the Andean clade, one of two American clades. The tribe was described in 2000 by Alan Meerow ''et al.'' as a result of a molecular phylogenetic study of the American Amaryllidoideae. This demonstrated that the tribe Stenomesseae, including the type genus ''Stenomesson'' was polyphyletic. Part of the tribe segregated with the Eucharideae and were submerged into it, while the other part formed a unique subclade. Since the type species of ''Stenomesson'' was not part of the second sublclade it was necessary to form a new name for the remaining species together with the other genera that remained. This was ''Clinanthus'', the oldest name for these species, and consequently the tribe Clinantheae. Taxonomy Phylogeny The placement of Clinantheae within subfamily Amaryllidoideae is shown in the following cladogram, where this tribe is shown as a sister group to the Hymenocallid ...

Stenomesseae
Stenomesseae was a tribe (in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae), where it forms part of the Andean clade, one of two American clades. The tribe was originally described by Traub in his monograph on the Amaryllidaceae in 1963, as Stenomessae based on the type genus ''Stenomesson''. In 1995 it was recognised that Eustephieae was a distinct group separate from the other Stenomesseae. Subsequently, the Müller-Doblies' (1996) divided tribe Eustephieae into two subtribes, Stenomessinae and Eustephiinae. The advent of molecular phylogenetics showed that the Stemomesseae (including Stenomesson) was polyphyletic A polyphyletic group is an assemblage of organisms or other evolving elements that is of mixed evolutionary origin. The term is often applied to groups that share similar features known as homoplasies, which are explained as a result of conver .... Consequently, a separate tribe (Clinantheae) was created from one group and the remainder, which segregated w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eucharideae
''Eucharideae'' is a tribe of plants within the family Amaryllidaceae. It was augmented in 2000 by Meerow ''et al.'' following a molecular phylogenetic study that revealed that many elements of the tribe Stenomesseae segregated with it, rather than separately, and were subsequently submerged in it (although there was an initial proposal to rename this clade Stenomesseae). It forms one of the tribes of the Andean subclade of the American clade of the subfamily. Taxonomy In Traub's monograph on the Amaryllidaceae (1963), he conceived of a tribe Euchareae based on the type genus, '' Eucharis'' and constituted from six genera in total. However, the Müller-Doblies' deemed this to be polyphyletic, and redistributed the genera over three separate tribes, retaining Eucharideae as one of those tribes, but divided into two subtribes, Eucharidinae and Hymenocallidinae with a total of seven genera. Meerow and Snijman (1998) considered these separate tribes, retaining only four genera i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
