Convallariaceae
Nolinoideae is a monocot subfamily of the family Asparagaceae in the APG III system of 2009. It used to be treated as a separate family, Ruscaceae s.l. The family name is derived from the generic name of the type genus, ''Nolina''. The subfamily includes genera that had been placed in a range of different families, including Ruscaceae s.s., Nolinaceae, Dracaenaceae, Convallariaceae and Eriospermaceae. Like many groups of lilioid monocots, the genera included here were once included in a wide interpretation of the family Liliaceae The lily family, Liliaceae, consists of about 15 genera and 610 species of flowering plants within the order Liliales. They are monocotyledonous, perennial, herbaceous, often bulbous geophytes. Plants in this family have evolved with a fair ....

Aspidistra
''Aspidistra'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae, native to eastern and southeastern Asia, particularly China and Vietnam. They grow in shade under trees and shrubs. Their leaves arise more or less directly from ground level, where their flowers also appear. The number of species known has increased considerably from the 1980s onwards, with around 100 accepted . ''Aspidistra elatior'' is common worldwide as a foliage house plant that is very tolerant of neglect. It and other species can also be grown in shade outside, where they are generally hardy to . Description Species of ''Aspidistra'' are perennial herbaceous plants growing from rhizomes. The leaves are either solitary or are grouped in small "tufts" of two to four. They arise more or less directly from the rhizome, rather than being borne on stems. Each leaf has a long stalk ( petiole) and a blade with many veins. The flowering stem ( scape) is usually very short so that th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Polygonatum
''Polygonatum'' , also known as King Solomon's-seal or Solomon's seal, is a genus of flowering plants. In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae (formerly the family Ruscaceae). It has also been classified in the former family Convallariaceae and, like many lilioid monocots, was formerly classified in the lily family, Liliaceae. The genus is distributed throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere. Most of the approximately 63 species occur in Asia, with 20 endemic to China.Wujisguleng, W., et al. (2012)Ethnobotanical review of food uses of ''Polygonatum'' (Convallariaceae) in China.''Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae'' 81(4) 239-44. Etymology ''Polygonatum'' comes from the ancient Greek for "many knees", referring to the multiple jointed rhizome. One explanation for the derivation of the common name "Solomon's seal" is that the roots bear depressions which resemble royal seals. Another is that the cut roots resembl ...

Maianthemum
''Maianthemum'' includes the former genus ''Smilacina'' and is a genus of perennial herbaceous flowering plants with fleshy, persistent rhizomes. It is widespread across much of North America, Europe and Asia, and may be terrestrial, aquatic or epiphytic. It is characterized by simple, unbranched stems that are upright, leaning or hanging down and have 2–17 foliage leaves. Leaves are simple and may clasp the stem or be short- petiolate. The inflorescence is terminal and either a panicle or a raceme with few to many pedicelate flowers. Most species have 6 tepals and 6 stamens; a few have parts in 4s. Tepals are distinct in most species and all of similar size. Flowers are spreading, cup-shaped or bell-shaped and usually white, but lavender to red or green in some species. Fruits are rounded to lobed berries containing few to several seeds. Vegetative ; Rhizomes and roots Rhizomes are persistent and have scale leaves. They can be sympodial; spreading and thread-like, or cylind ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Liriope (plant)
''Liriope'' is a genus of low, grass-like flowering plants from East and Southeast Asia. Some species are often used in landscaping in temperate latitudes. It may be called lilyturf in North America, although it is neither a true grass (family Poaceae) nor a lily (genus ''Lilium''). In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae (formerly the family Ruscaceae). Like many lilioid monocots, it was once classified with lilies in the family Liliaceae; it has also been placed in the former family Convallariaceae. The genus was named for the nymph Liriope of Greek mythology. Background and pronunciation ''Liriope'' are usually used in the garden for their evergreen foliage as a groundcover. Some species, e.g., ''L. spicata'', grow aggressively in the right conditions, spreading by runners; hence their nickname, "creeping lilyturf". In the southeastern United States ''Liriope'' is sometimes referred to by the common name ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ophiopogon
''Ophiopogon'' (lilyturf) is a genus of evergreen perennial plants native to warm temperate to tropical East, Southeast, and South Asia. Despite their grasslike appearance, they are not closely related to the true grasses, the Poaceae. The name of the genus is derived from Greek Όφις ''ophis'', "snake", and πόγὦν ''pogon'', "beard", most probably referring to its leaves and tufted growth.Germplasm Resources Information Network''Ophiopogon''Flora of China''Ophiopogon''/ref>Huxley, A., ed.
