Anthericum Baeticum
''Anthericum'' is a genus of about 65 species, rhizomatous perennial plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae. It was formerly placed in its own family, Anthericaceae. The species have rhizomatous or tuberous roots, long narrow leaves and branched stems carrying starry white flowers. The members of this genus occur mainly in the tropics and southern Africa and Madagascar, but are also represented in Europe. The generic name ''Anthericum'' is derived from the Greek word ανθερικος (''antherikos''), meaning "straw", referring to the narrow leaves. Only two species are in general cultivation. A number of species are now included in the genus ''Chlorophytum'', the Spider Plant, a familiar and popular house plant. Others, including the St. Bruno's Lily, are now classed in the genus ''Paradisea''.

Chlorophytum Macrophyllum
''Chlorophytum'' (,''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607), sometimes colloquially referred to as the spider plants, is a genus of almost 200 species of evergreen perennial flowering plants in the century plant subfamily within the asparagus family. The plants are native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Australia, and Asia. Depending on species, most ''Chlorophytum'' mature at about 10–60 cm (3"-12") in height, growing out from a central rosette of long, slender leaves of around 15–75 cm (5"-29") in length. The plants tend to have thick, fleshy, tuberous roots, about 0.5-2 cm (0.17"-0.75") thick. The flowers are small and usually white, produced on sparse panicles up to 120 cm (47") long. In certain species, such as ''C. comosum'' (the ubiquitous 'spider plant'), the plants are known to reproduce vegetatively by producing plantlets—baby plants connected by an "umbilical" stem, sprouting from the side of the main mother-plant.

Bulbine Longiscapa
''Bulbine'' is a genus of plants in the family Asphodelaceae and subfamily Asphodeloideae, named for the bulb-shaped tuber of many species. It was formerly placed in the Liliaceae. It is found chiefly in Southern Africa, with a few species extending into tropical Africa and a few others in Australia and Yemen. ''Bulbine'' is a genus of succulent plants with flowers borne in lax or compound racemes. The flowers are usually yellow, with bearded stamens; some species have white, orange, or pink flowers. Several species are grown in gardens, especially '' B. frutescens''. Species of ''Bulbine'' resemble ''Haworthia'' and ''Aloe'' in appearance, but with soft, fleshy leaves and tuberous roots or a caudex. They are shrubs, weedy perennials, dwarf geophytes (including ''Bulbine lolita'', the smallest of all succulent Monocots ), and soft annuals. Many of the dwarf species have small, dome-shaped tubers. Dormancy usually extends from late spring to autumn, but it varies among species and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bulbine Frutescens
''Bulbine frutescens'', the wild kopieva or stalked bulbine, is a species of flowering plant in the genus '' Bulbine'', native to southern Africa (South Africa, Lesotho, Eswatini). Description This variable species grows as a small shrub, with short, low stems that produce roots down towards the ground, and slender, erect, succulent, grey-green leaves. The flowers appear throughout the summer, on a 30 cm erect inflorescence. The flowers can be orange, yellow or white. Like all '' Bulbine'' species, the stamens are distinctively tufted ("bearded"). Growth ''Bulbine frutescens'' is mostly dormant in summer, blooming in the spring, and then again in autumn although somewhat less. It can be propagated easily by stem cuttings. The cuttings can be planted immediately and kept in a shady area. They do not need any special attention or treatment, and build strong roots in a couple of months.

Arthropodium Cirrhatum
''Arthropodium cirratum'' commonly known as rengarenga, renga lily, New Zealand rock lily, rengarenga, or maikaika, is a species of herbaceous perennial plant, endemic to New Zealand, where it may once have been farmed. It is used for medicine as well as food, and has symbolic importance in traditional Māori culture. The Māori name ''rengarenga'' is a reduplication of Proto-Polynesian *''renga'' which in other related languages corresponds to turmeric, especially its powdered form (see , ); this association is due to both plants' similar stem and root characteristics. Description The leaves are long and wide. The flower stalk often reaches one metre, and bears many white six-petalled flowers, in groups of two or three, each about across. The stamens are tricoloured - purple and white, with yellow at the curled end. The roots are wide. Taxonomy It was first described in 1786 as ''Anthericum cirrhatum'' by Georg Forster. In 1822, Robert Brown assigned it to the genus, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anthericum Liliago
''Anthericum liliago'', the St Bernard's lily, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. It is native to mainland Europe (not the British Isles) and Turkey, growing in dry pastures, stony places and open woods and flowering in early summer. In Sweden, the northernmost stable populations grows along the rocky shores of Lake Sommen (58° N), albeit on occasions it has been found as far north as Uppland (60° N). Etymology The specific epithet ''liliago'' means lily-like or lily-carrier. Like many plants whose common names include "lily", it is not closely related to the true lilies. Description It is a vigorous herbaceous flowering perennial with tuberous roots, high, with leaves narrowly linear, and producing racemes of 6-10 lily-like white flowers in Spring and Summer. Cultivation Best grown in well-drained soil in a sunny position, ''A. liliago'' can be propagated by seed or by division of the rootstock every 3 to 4 years. It is a slow starter but forms l ...
