Although it is called a "lily", the peace lily is not a true lily from the family Liliaceae. True lilies are highly toxic (poisonous) to cats and dogs, [14] [15] but the peace lily, Spathiphyllum is only mildly toxic to humans and other animals when ingested.
Examples of plants that are propagated this way include hops, asparagus, ginger, irises, lily of the valley, cannas, and sympodial orchids. Stored rhizomes are subject to bacterial and fungal infections, making them unsuitable for replanting and greatly diminishing stocks. However, rhizomes can also be produced artificially from tissue cultures.
For example, verus is listed without the variants for Aloe vera or Galium verum. The second part of a binomial is often a person's name in the genitive case , ending -i (masculine) or -ae (feminine), such as Kaempfer's tody-tyrant , Hemitriccus kaempferi .

[6] The genus has also been placed in its own family, Chorogalaceae, or in a group within the hyacinth family Hyacinthaceae (now Scilloideae ), in the ...
Plants can be successfully grown in a terrarium-like environment, mounted bare-root on a decay-resistant, untreated wooden stock with the wood laid horizontally on top of a bed of living sphagnum moss, as the plants require high humidity and stagnant air, or, in a Wardian case or greenhouse which approximates these conditions.

Trillium species are native to temperate regions of North America and Asia , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] with the greatest diversity of species found in the southern Appalachian ...
Breen's son later called the roots "California soap-root"—almost certainly C. pomeridianum. Saponins are much more toxic to some other animals than they are to humans. Fish are particularly susceptible, and the bulb juices were used to kill or stun them so they could be caught easily. Medicinal
