Taxonomy The genus name is a List of taxa named by anagrams, taxonomic anagram of ''Allium'' (in fact, the letters are in exact reverse order), the onion genus, for the flowers' resemblance. In the APG III system, APG III classification system, it is placed in the family (biology), family Asparagaceae, subfamily Brodiaeoideae. The subfamily has also been treated as a separate family Themidaceae.Jepson Manual (TJM2) treatment of ''Muilla'', family Themidaceae . accessed 1 May 2016.

Muilla Maritima
''Muilla maritima'' is a species of flowering plant known by the common names sea muilla and common muilla. It is native to California and Baja California, where it grows in many types of habitats from the coast to the Mojave Desert and Sierra Nevada foothills and other inland mountains, in grassland, woodland, desert, and forest floras. It is a perennial plant growing from a corm and producing an erect flowering stem up to half a meter tall. The onion-like leaves at the base of the stem may be 60 centimeters long. The flowering stem bears an umbel-shaped array of many flowers on pedicels up to 5 centimeters long. Each flower has six tepals which are green-tinged white in color with brownish midribs and no more than 6 millimeters in length. At the center of the flower are six erect stamen The stamen (: stamina or stamens) is a part consisting of the male reproductive organs of a flower.

Muilla Transmontana
''Muilla transmontana'' is a species of flowering plant known by the common name Inland muilla. It is native to sections of the Great Basin in Nevada and in California east of the major mountain ranges. It grows in mountain forest and scrubby high desert and plateau habitat. It is a perennial plant growing from a corm and producing an erect flowering stem up to half a meter tall. The onionlike leaves at the base of the stem are 20 to 60 centimeters long. The flowering stem bears an umbel-shaped array of 12 to 30 flowers on pedicels up to 3 centimeters long. Each flower has six tepals which are white, turning pale purple as they dry, and just under a centimeter in length. At the center of the flower are six erect stamens with filaments expanded at the base and fused into a low cup around the gynoecium Gynoecium (; ; : gynoecia) is most commonly used as a collective term for the parts of a flower that produce ovules and ultimately develop into the fruit and seeds. The gynoeciu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Muilla Lordsburgana
''Muilla lordsburgana'' is a species of flowering plant known by the common name Lordsburg noino.

It is a perennial growing from a corm and reaching no more than 9 centimeters in height. The flowering stem bears an umbel-shaped array of up to 6, but usually fewer, flowers on pedicels up to 2 centimeters long. Each flower has six tepals which are white to pale lavender in color with a prominent green midvein. At the center of the flower are six stamen The stamen (: stamina or stamens) is a part consisting of the male reproductive organs of a flower.

Muilla Coronata
''Muilla coronata'' is a species of flowering plant known by the common name crowned muilla. It is native to the deserts of eastern California and southern Nevada, where it is found in scrub and Joshua Tree woodland habitat, as well as the slopes of nearby mountains. It is a perennial growing from a corm and reaching no more than 15 centimeters in height. The flowering stem bears an umbel-shaped array of up to 10, but usually fewer, flowers on pedicels up to 3 centimeters long. Each flower has six tepals which are white in color, often with a blue tinge inside and a greenish tinge on the outer surfaces.

Bloomeria Clevelandii
''Bloomeria clevelandii'' is a rare species of flowering plant that is known by the common name San Diego goldenstar. It is native to a strip of scrub and coastal grassland in San Diego County, California, and adjacent Baja California. Genetic analysis of several morphologically similar genera shows that this species, which was named ''Muilla clevelandii'' for several decades, is not very closely related to the other members of ''Muilla'' and is moved back to ''Bloomeria''. Its specific epithet ''clevelandii'' honors 19th-century San Diego-based plant collector and lawyer Daniel Cleveland. Description ''Bloomeria clevelandii'' is a perennial herb growing from a corm and producing 2 to 8 narrow leaves up to 15 centimeters long. The erect inflorescence arises from ground level and may be up to 70 centimeters tall. It is shaped like an umbel with up to 30 flowers borne on pedicels 2 or 3 centimeters long. The flower has six green-veined yellow tepal A tepal is one of the outer p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Asparagaceae
Asparagaceae (), known as the asparagus family, is a family of flowering plants, placed in the order Asparagales of the monocots. The family name is based on the edible garden asparagus, '' Asparagus officinalis''. This family includes both common garden plants as well as common houseplants. The garden plants include asparagus, yucca, bluebell, lily of the valley, and hosta, and the houseplants include snake plant, corn cane, spider plant, and plumosus fern. The Asparagaceae is a morphologically heterogenous family with the included species varying widely in their appearance and growth form. It has a cosmopolitan distribution, with genera and species contained in the family native to all continents except Antarctica. Taxonomy Early taxonomy The plant family Asparagaceae was first named, described, and published in Genera Plantarum in 1789 by the French botanist Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, who is particularly noted for his work in developing the concept of pl ...

List Of Taxa Named By Anagrams
In the biological nomenclature codes, an anagram can be used to name a new taxon. Wordplays are one source of inspiration allowing organisms to receive Scientific name, scientific names. In the binomial nomenclature, as scientists have latitude in naming genus, genera and species, a taxon name can therefore be an anagram, provided it remains pronounceable. For example, in the ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'', a new generic name can be taken from the name of a person by using an anagram or abbreviation of it. William Elford Leach was among the first naturalists to use taxonomic anagrams, and, in 1818, he described several isopod genera that were each other's anagrams of 'Caroline' : ''Conilera'', ''Lironeca'', ''Nerocila'', ''Olencira'', and ''Rocinela''.

Brodiaeoideae
Brodiaeoideae are a monocot subfamily of flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, order Asparagales. They have been treated as a separate family, Themidaceae. They are native to Central America and western North America, from British Columbia to Guatemala.Ole Seberg. 2007. "Themidaceae" page 404. In: Vernon H. Heywood, Richard K. Brummitt, Ole Seberg, and Alastair Culham. ''Flowering Plant Families of the World''. Firefly Books: Ontario, Canada. The name of the subfamily is based on the type genus '' Brodiaea''. In molecular phylogenetic analyses, Brodiaeoideae is strongly supported as monophyletic. It is probably sister to Scilloideae.J. Chris Pires, Ivan J. Maureira, Thomas J. Givnish, Kenneth J. Sytsma, Ole Seberg, Gitte Petersen, Jerrold I. Davis, Dennis W. Stevenson, Paula J. Rudall, Michael F. Fay, and Mark W. Chase. 2006. "Phylogeny, genome size, and chromosome evolution of Asparagales".
