Leucocoryne Subulata
''Leucocoryne'' (glory-of-the-sun) is a genus of bulbous perennial plants in the family Amaryllidaceae. The foliage of all species is long and narrow and has an onion-like scent. The blue, white or lilac flowers are held in umbels. The entire genus is endemic to northern and central Chile in South America. Some species are grown in gardens as ornamentals. They require very well-drained soil and do not tolerate freezing temperatures. ''L. purpurea'', with purple flowers, has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Derivation of genus name The generic name ''Leucocoryne'' is a compound of the Greek elements λευκός ( = ''leucos'' ) "white" and κορυνε ( = ''korune'' ) "club" ( in the sense of cudgel or bludgeon ) - in reference to the pale, club-like, sterile anthers of the flowers. Taxonomy Species Species accepted by The Plant List are listed here (49) although some authorities estimate only 15. # ''Leucocoryne alliacea'' Lindl. # '' Leucoc ...

John Lindley
John Lindley Fellow of the Royal Society, FRS (5 February 1799 – 1 November 1865) was an English botanist, gardener and orchidology, orchidologist. Early years Born in Old Catton, Catton, near Norwich, England, John Lindley was one of four children of George and Mary Lindley. George Lindley was a nurseryman and pomologist and ran a commercial nursery garden. Although he had great horticultural knowledge, the undertaking was not profitable and George lived in a state of indebtedness. As a boy he would assist in the garden and also collected wild flowers he found growing in the Norfolk countryside. Lindley was educated at Norwich School. He would have liked to go to university or to buy a commission in the army but the family could not afford either. He became Belgium, Belgian agent for a London seed merchant in 1815. At this time Lindley became acquainted with the botanist William Jackson Hooker who allowed him to use his botanical library and who introduced him to Sir Joseph ...

Leucocoryne Gilliesioides
''Erinna'' is a genus of perennial herbaceous geophytes in the flowering plant family Amaryllidaceae. It is native to Chile, South America. It is included in the tribe Gilliesieae, within the subfamily Allioideae. The genus is monotypic, with a single species, ''Erinna gilliesioides''. It is relatively rare. Taxonomy ''Erinna '' was described by Philippi in 1864 as a monotypic genus, based on ''Erinna gilliesioides''. As such it was a genus within Alliaceae, and included in the phylogenetic construction of Gilliesieae in 1996. Although Ravenna (2000) proposed transferring it to ''Leucocoryne'' as ''Leucocoryne gilliesioides'' on morphological grounds, it was included separately by Chase ''et al.'' (2009) and hence the 2009 APGIII. Although the ''World Checklist'' lists ''Erinna'' as a synonym of ''Leucocoryne'', Sassone ''et al.'' (2014) still consider its status uncertain. In 2014 Sassone ''et al.'' proposed dividing the Gilliesieae into two separate tribes. Under their pro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
