Top 50 East Asian Plants for Pollinators Top 50 East Asian Oriental Garden plants you can grow in the UK to help our pollinating insects List Curated by Thomas McBride From research data collected and collated at the National Botanic Garden of Wales NB: Butterflies and Moths are not studied at the NBGW so any data on nectar plants beneficial for them is taken from Butterfly Conservation Creating a Japanese or East Asian-inspired Garden A Japanese or East Asian Garden features one of the most tranquil styles of modern planting. Usually featuring plenty of trees, the garden offers shade and serenity from the hot sunshine often with calming water features and a desaturated colour palate. There are also styles that feature Rhododendrons more heavily which tend to be a bit brighter. This list provides the very best native East Asian plants to create your very own piece of the orient. Planting Style Some of the most iconic plants in a Japanese garden are not particularly pollinator friendly but may be used alongside lots of the plants from this list in order to achieve a stunning effect as well as a haven for wildlife. Japanese Maples do flower but are mostly pollinated by small flies as their flowers are very discrete and small. Mosses, grasses, bamboo, sedges and ferns also feature very heavily in traditional styles to create a peaceful backdrop of greenery. These are an important part of a garden eco-system so may be planted but it is important not to solely plant these if you want to attract insects. One of the very iconic East Asian plants is the cherry tree. There are many fantastic species to plant but only one features in this list. They take quite a few years to mature but it is very much worth it. An East-Asian inspired garden will take years to perfect but can provide a serenity that cannot be achieved in other planting styles.

Species that share a number of significant characteristics are grouped together to form a genus See under the new name of Nomenclature and (plural genera). The name of a species is made up of Taxonomy Advisory Group two elements; the name of the genus followed by the specific epithet, for example, Narcissus romieuxii.

  • 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. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.
