Eucharis is a genus of about 15-20 species of monocotyledonous plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to Central America and South America from Guatemala south to Bolivia. In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. UserPolbot. --> Eucharis astrophiala is a species of Plant in the Amaryllidaceae family Monocotyledons or monocots are one of two major groups of Flowering plants (angiosperms that are traditionally recognised the other being Dicotyledons Amaryllidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. South America is a Continent of the Americas, situated entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a Guatemala (República de Guatemala) is a country in Central America bordered by Mexico to the north and west the Pacific Ocean to the southwest The Republic of Bolivia (República de Bolivia) named after Simón Bolívar, is a Landlocked country in central South America.
It is a bulbous plant with a bulb 2-6 cm diameter. A bulb is an underground vertical Shoot that has modified leaves (or thickened leaf bases that are used as Food Storage organs by The broad stalked leaves are 20-55 cm long and 10-20 cm broad. In Botany, a leaf is an above-ground Plant organ specialized for Photosynthesis. The large showy white flowers are borne in an umbel of three to ten on an erect scape 40-80 cm long. A flower, also known as a bloom or Blossom, is the reproductive structure found in Flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also An umbel is an Inflorescence which consists of a number of short Flower stalks (called pedicels) which are equal in length and spread from a common The flowers resemble daffodil flowers in having a prominent central cup or corona, which is sometimes tinged with green.
Cultivation and uses
Eucharis amazonica and the hybrid Eucharis x grandiflora are the best-known and most generally cultivated species. In Biology, hybrid has two meanings The first meaning is the result of interbreeding between two animals or plants of different taxa.
It is propagated by removing the offsets, which may be done in spring, potting them singly in 15 cm pots. It requires good loamy soil, with enough sand to keep the compost open, and should have a good supply of water. Loam is Soil composed of Sand, Silt, and Clay in relatively even concentration (about 40-40-20% concentration respectively considered Sand is a naturally occurring Granular material composed of finely divided rock and Mineral particles A temperature of 18° to 20°C during the night, and rising to 25°C in the day. During summer growth is to be encouraged by repotting, but the plants should afterwards be slightly rested by removal to a night temperature of about 15°C, water being withheld for a time, though they must not be left dry for too long, the plant being an evergreen. In Botany, an Evergreen plant is a plant having leaves all year round By the turn of the year they may again have more heat and more water, and this will probably induce them to flower.
With a stock of the smaller plants to start them in succession, it is possible to have plants in flower all the year round.
A hybrid has been raised between Eucharis and the allied genus Urceolina, given the hybrid name X Urceocharis. In Biology, hybrid has two meanings The first meaning is the result of interbreeding between two animals or plants of different taxa.
