Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia.

Rainlily, Zephyranthes Andhabranthus Spp
ENH1151 Rainlily, Zephyranthes and Habranthus spp.: Low- Maintenance Flowering Bulbs for Florida Gardens1 Gary W. Knox2 What is a rainlily? Rainlily refers to any of about 70 species of Zephyranthes and Habranthus, all of which are flowering bulbs that share common names of rainlily, fairy lily, rainflower and zephyrlily. These small bulbs earned the name “rainlily” because they often flower within a few days after rainfall. From spring through fall, rainlily can produce flushes of star-shaped, trumpet-like flowers that are white, pink or yellow, depending on the species. Flowers of some new hybrids are in shades of peach, orange and red, and some have multi- colored flowers in striped or picotee patterns. Rainlily’s easy care, broad adaptability and beautiful, starry flowers make it ideal for gardens in Florida! Rainlily flowers in spring, summer or fall, depending on species and garden conditions. Each six-petalled, funnel- shaped flower is perched at the top of a stem that ranges in Figure 1. Atamasca rainlilies (Zephyranthes atamasca) in a home height from 2 inches to more than 12 inches. Zephyranthes garden. spp. have a single, upward-facing or slightly nodding flower Credits: Gary Knox, UF/IFAS on each stem, whereas Habranthus spp. flowers are held at Rainlily bulbs produce clumps of narrow, grass-like leaves an angle and occur in groups of two or three per stem. Each that range in length from a few inches to as long as 14 flower lasts just a day or two, depending on sunlight and inches. In the wild, rainlily bulbs adapt to seasonal dry temperature, but typically new flowers continually develop weather by losing leaves until rainfall resumes.

Address for correspondence: Nicolás García, [email protected] DOI https://doi.org/10.1002/tax.12062 Abstract A robust generic classification for Amaryllidaceae has remained elusive mainly due to the lack of unequivocal diagnostic characters, a consequence of highly canalized variation and a deeply reticulated evolutionary history. A consensus classification is pro- posed here, based on recent molecular phylogenetic studies, morphological and cytogenetic variation, and accounting for secondary criteria of classification, such as nomenclatural stability. Using the latest sutribal classification of Hippeastreae (Hippeastrinae and Traubiinae) as a foundation, we propose the recognition of six genera, namely Eremolirion gen. nov., Hippeastrum, Phycella s.l., Rhodolirium s.str., Traubia, and Zephyranthes s.l. A subgeneric classification is suggested for Hippeastrum and Zephyranthes to denote putative subclades.

In India, the plant species is used in folk medicine along with Z. flava for treatment of diabetes, ear and chest ailments and viral infections. A study was conducted to see the diversity of microbes associated with rhizosphere of this plant. It was observed that fungal species such as Alternaria zinniae, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium sp., Paecilomyces sp. were present in the rhizosphere. Among the bacterial diversity, 3 different species of Bacillus and only 1 Streptobacillus sp. was isolated. Some endomycorrhizal species i.e. Gigaspora gigantea, Acaulospora bireticiulata, Glomus macrocarpa, Glomus sp.-1, Sclerocystis coccogenum, Sclerocystis sinuosa, Glomus mosseae, Glomus sp.-2, were isolated from the rhizospheric soil samples. The roots were detected for extreme arbuscular mycorhizal endomycorrhizal fungal infection with Arum type colonization having rectangular and profuse vesicles with hyphae entering the cortical cells of root. About 3 different species of Actinomycetes i.e. Streptomyces spp. were too observed in the rhizosphere.

Relative Importance and Knowledge Distribution of Medicinal Plants in a Kichwa Community in the Ecuadorian Amazon
Research Communications Relative Importance and Knowledge Distribution of Medicinal Plants in a Kichwa Community in the Ecuadorian Amazon Brian J. Doyle1*, Caroline M. Asiala1, and Diana M. Fernández2 1Department of Biology and Department of Biochemistry, Alma College, Alma, MI, USA. 2National Institute of Biodiversity, National Herbarium of Ecuador, Quito, Ecuador. *[email protected] Abstract Traditional knowledge, such as knowledge of the use of plants as medicine, influences how indigenous people manage forest resources. Gender and age-associated differences in traditional knowledge may impact forest resource management because of the traditional division of labor. We interviewed 18 men and 18 women between 9 and 74 years old in San José de Payamino, an indigenous community of the Kichwa ethnicity in the Ecuadorian Amazon, to determine if there are gender or age-associated differences in medicinal plant knowledge among the Payamino people and to identify the most important species from a sample of medicinal plants. Individuals were interviewed using a tablet that displayed images of 34 plants, which had been cited by traditional healers in the community. Quantitative analysis provided insight into the relative importance of plants in the sample as well as the distribution of medicinal plant knowledge among members of the community. The most important plants were Tradescantia zanonia and Monolena primuliflora. These plants should be considered candidates for further investigation. There was a positive correlation between age and knowledge of medicinal plants, but no significant difference between genders. Our results suggest that an interview method that relies on digital images can reveal differences in the importance of medicinal plants as well as provide insight into the distribution of traditional medical knowledge.

Historical Survey of Easter Lily Name in Association with Lilium Longiflorum
® Floriculture and Ornamental Biotechnology ©2012 Global Science Books Historical Survey of Easter Lily Name in Association with Lilium longiflorum Eisuke Matsuo Professor Emeritus of Kyushu University, 1198-68, Tsuko, Ogori-shi 838-0102, Japan Correspondence : [email protected] ABSTRACT Based on the English dictionaries from around 1900, the author traces back how Lilium longiflorum came to be referred to as the Easter lily. The term “Easter lily” was given to any lily-like flowering species that bloomed around the Easter day, being called Easter flowers. Among them, L. candidum became the most famous one known as “Easter lily”. The evidence suggests that when more easily forcible bulb production began in the Bermuda Islands, the superiority of L. longiflorum over L. candidum in forcing ability and price, might have led to an explosive promotion of the usage of L. longiflorum as the Easter flower instead of L. candidum. Thus, the name "Easter lily" came to be transferred from L. candidum to L. longiflorum. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: Easter decoration, Easter flower, Lilium candidum, Madonna lily CONTENTS INTRODUCTION.......................................................................................................................................................................................... 9 EASTER FLOWER AND EASTER LILY...................................................................................................................................................
