Clintonia umbellulata, commonly known as white clintonia or speckled wood-lily, [3] [4] is a species of flowering plant in the lily family Liliaceae. The specific epithet umbellulata means "umbelled," which refers to the shape of the plant’s inflorescence. The ripe fruits are black berries (Virginia, USA, September 2017)
The taxonomy of the plant family Liliaceae has had a complex history since its first description in the mid-eighteenth century. Originally, the Liliaceae were defined as having a "calix" (perianth) of six equal-coloured parts, six stamens, a single style, and a superior, three-chambered (trilocular) ovary turning into a capsule fruit at maturity.
Clintonia is a genus of flowering plants in the lily family Liliaceae.Plants of the genus are distributed across the temperate regions of North America and eastern Asia, [1] [2] in the mesic understory of deciduous or coniferous forests. [3]
In botany, an umbel is an inflorescence that consists of a number of short flower stalks (called pedicels) that spread from a common point, somewhat like umbrella ribs.The word was coined in botanical usage in the 1590s, from Latin umbella "parasol, sunshade". [1]
Because of a degree of variability within the populations and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the lily family, Liliaceae, [1] along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to Amana, Erythronium, and Gagea in the tribe Lilieae.
The lily family, Liliaceae, are the largest Liliales family, with 15 genera and about 700 species, though much reduced from earlier circumscriptions, in four subfamilies. Of these genera, Gagea is the largest (204 spp.), but some are quite small, with Medeola being monotypic.
This type of inflorescence is called spikelet. The flowers can be hermaphrodites or unisexuals and present a rudimentary perianth of 2 or 3 pieces, the lodiculae or glumellulae. These lodicules are the organs that, when they become turgid, determine the opening of the antecio or floral box during flowering, allowing the feathery stigmas and the ...
