Erythronium
''Erythronium'', the fawn lily, trout lily, dog's-tooth violet or adder's tongue, is a genus of Eurasian and North American plants in the Liliaceae, lily family, most closely related to tulips. The name Erythronium derives from Ancient Greek () "red" in Greek, referring to the red flowers of Erythronium dens-canis, ''E. dens-canis''. Of all the established species, most live in North America; only six species are found in Europe and Asia. Taxonomy It was published by Carl Linnaeus in 1753Linné, Carl von, & Salvius, Lars. (1753).

Erythronium Dens-canis
''Erythronium dens-canis'', the dog's-tooth-violet or dogtooth violet, is a bulbous herbaceous plant, herbaceous perennial plant, perennial flowering plant in the family (biology), family Liliaceae, growing to . It is native plant, native to central and southern Europe from Portugal to Ukraine. It is the only naturally occurring species of ''Erythronium'' in Europe. Despite its common name, it is not closely related to the true viola (plant), violets of genus ''Viola (plant), Viola''. Description ''Erythronium dens-canis'' produces a solitary white, pink or lilac flower at the beginning of spring. The petals (growing to approx. 3 cm) are wikt:reflexed, reflexed at the top and yellow tinted at the base. The brown spotted leaves are ovate to lanceolate and grow in pairs. The white bulb is oblong and resembles a dog's tooth, hence the common name "dog's tooth violet" and the Latin Botanical name#Binary name, specific epithet ''dens-canis'', which translates as "dog's tooth".

Erythronium Americanum
''Erythronium americanum'', the trout lily, yellow trout lily, fawn lily, yellow adder's-tongue, or yellow dogtooth violet, is a species of perennial, colony forming, spring ephemeral flower native to North America and dwelling in woodland habitats. Within its range it is a very common and widespread species, especially in eastern North America. The common name "trout lily" refers to the appearance of its gray-green leaves mottled with brown or gray, which allegedly resemble the coloring of brook trout. The range is from Labrador south to Georgia, west to Mississippi, and north to Minnesota. Description Flowers A yellow trout lily produces an erect flower stalk with a nodding, bisexual flower with 6 recurved, yellow, lanceolate tepals. The 20 to 33 mm long tepals are composed of 3 petals and 3 petal-like sepals. ''E. americanum'' does not flower for the first 4 to 7 years of its life. In any given colony, only 0.5% will have flowers. Trout lilies bloom in early spring be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Erythronium Albidum
''Erythronium albidum'', the white fawnlily or white trout lily, is a small herbaceous geophyte in the lily family. It is also known as adder's tongue, white dog's-tooth violet, serpent's tongue, trout lily, deer tongue, creeklily and yellow snowdrop. Large numbers of this plant indicate that the woodland has never been subjected to heavy machinery, where it would be unable to grow due to soil compaction. Description Morphology The white fawnlily often forms extensive colonies in which immature, non-flowering, 1-leaved plants far outnumber flowering, 2-leaved ones. Flowering 2-leaved plants produce a short, slender, red stem tall, which bear two oblong basal leaves. The leaves are lanceolate, long and broad, dark green and covered with a mottled pattern of purple blotches. It is difficult to distinguish between ''Erythronium albidum'' and '' Erythronium americanum'' based solely on leaves. The root system consists of a central corm that sends out stolons which allows ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 amount of morphological diversity despite genetic similarity. Common characteristics include large flowers with parts arranged in threes: with six colored or patterned petaloid tepals (undifferentiated petals and sepals) arranged in two whorls, six stamens and a superior ovary. The leaves are linear in shape, with their veins usually arranged parallel to the edges, single and arranged alternating on the stem, or in a rosette at the base. Most species are grown from bulbs, although some have rhizomes. First described in 1789, the lily family became a paraphyletic "catch-all" ( wastebasket) group of lilioid monocots that did not fit into other families and included a great number of genera now included in other families and in some case ...

Erythronium Californicum
''Erythronium californicum'', the California fawn lily, is a species of flowering plant in the family Liliaceae, endemic to moist woodland habitats in the mountains of Northern California. Description It is an herbaceous hardy perennial growing from a pointed bulb 3 to 6 cm wide and producing two basal leaves which are sometimes spotted with brown. The reddish-green stalks grow up to tall and each bears one to three nodding, slightly scented flowers in spring. The flower has yellowish-white tepals 2 to 4 cm long, sometimes with red or brown banding or striping toward the bases. The stamens, anthers, and stigma are whitish in color. The cultivars 'Brocklamont Inheritance' and 'White Beauty' have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit The Award of Garden Merit (AGM) is a long-established award for plants by the British Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). It is based on assessment of the plants' performance under UK growing conditions. It in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tulip
Tulips are spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes in the ''Tulipa'' genus. Their flowers are usually large, showy, and brightly coloured, generally red, orange, pink, yellow, or white. They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals, internally. Because of a degree of variability within the populations and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the lily family, Liliaceae, along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to '' Amana'', ''Erythronium'', and '' Gagea'' in the tribe Lilieae. There are about 75 species, and these are divided among four subgenera. The name "tulip" is thought to be derived from a Persian word for turban, which it may have been thought to resemble by those who discovered it. Tulips were originally found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalise ...
