Tigridieae
Tigridieae is a tribe of plants in the subfamily Iridoideae and included in the family Iridaceae. It contains many perennials which have cormous rootstocks. The name of the tribe comes from its main genus - '' Tigridia''. The tribe is native to the New World. The flowers do not always have well differentiated petals like in many other Iridoideae. A considerable proportion of the tribe's members have identical petals as in '' Nemastylis'' or '' Calydorea''.

Calydorea
''Calydorea'' is a small genus of perennial, herbaceous and bulbous plants in the family Iridaceae native to Mexico and South America. The plants in the genus are small with tunicated bulbs. The flowers are light blue, violet, white, or yellow, depending on the species, of which there are around twenty. Taxonomists considered that the already known genera ''Salpingostylis'' (endemic from Florida), ''Cardiostigma'' (from Mexico), ''Catila'' (from Brazil) and ''Itysa'' (from Venezuela) are not enough different from each other to justify their taxonomic segregation and, for this reason, all of them are now included in ''Calydorea''. The genus name is derived from the Greek words ''caly'', meaning "sheathed", and ''dorea'', meaning "spear". ; SpeciesRoyal Horticultural Society, Kew.A detailed checklist for genus ''Calydorea'' ./ref> * '' Calydorea alba'' Roitman & A.Castillo, Bol.

Cypella
''Cypella'' is a genus of herbaceous, perennial and bulbous plants in the family Iridaceae. It is distributed in South America, from Peru and Brazil to Northern Argentina. The genus name is likely derived from the Greek language, Greek word ''kyphella'', meaning "hollow of the ear", and alludes to the shape of the inner tepals. ; Species Based on DNA and morphological features, the Southamerican genera ''Kelissa'' and ''Onira'' are now included in ''Cypella''.Goldblatt, P. & John Manning. 2008.

Iridaceae
Iridaceae is a family of plants in order Asparagales, taking its name from the irises, meaning rainbow, referring to its many colours. There are 66 accepted genera with a total of c. 2244 species worldwide (Christenhusz & Byng 2016). It includes a number of other well known cultivated plants, such as freesias, gladioli and crocuses. Members of this family are perennial plants, with a bulb, corm or rhizome. The plants grow erect, and have leaves that are generally grass-like, with a sharp central fold. Some examples of members of this family are the blue flag and yellow flag. Name and history The family name is based on the genus '' Iris'', the largest and best known genus in Europe. This genus dates from 1753, when it was coined by Swedish botanist, Carl Linnaeus. Its name derives from the Greek goddess, Iris, who carried messages from Olympus to earth along a rainbow, whose colours were seen by Linnaeus in the multi-hued petals of many of the species. The family is cur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Iridoideae
Iridoideae is one of the two main subfamilies in the popular family Iridaceae. It contains the best-known genus - '' Iris''. The members of this subfamily are widely distributed worldwide. They grow in all continents except Antarctica. They produce typical sword-shaped leaves and have mainly corms or rhizomes. There are some exceptions which have bulbs. These are two subgenera of ''Iris'' - '' Xiphium'' and '' Hermodactyloides''. The blooms, which are often scented, are arranged in often terminal inflorescences. Each flower has six petals. In most cases three of them are separated from the others and are specialized in different functions. However some are not, as in ''Nemastylis''. Nectar is produced in their base. In some of the species the stamens are partially fused with the petals. The 3-locular seed capsule contains the seeds which are often circular, flat in some cases drop-like grains coloured black or sometimes orange ('' Iris pseudacorus''). The species in the subfa ...
