Sternbergia lutea |
Sternbergia is a genus in Amaryllidaceae of around 10 species that show a broad distribution throughout Mediterranean Europe and Asia, and was first described by Clusius in 1601 as Narcissus, before being redescribed by Linnaeus as Amaryllis in 1753. Sternbergia lutea ( Autumn Daffodil, Fall daffodil, Lily-of-the-field, Winter daffodil, Yellow Autumn crocus) is a Amaryllidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Carl Linnaeus (Latinized as Carolus Linnaeus, also known after his ennoblement as, May 23 new style (13 May old style 1707 who laid the foundations for Amaryllis is a monotypic (only one species Genus of plant also known as the Belladonna Lily or naked ladies. The plant referred to by both these descriptions is now recognised as being Sternbergia lutea, which was described by Waldstein and Kitaibel in 1803, although their first validation of the name Sternbergia was applied to S. Sternbergia lutea ( Autumn Daffodil, Fall daffodil, Lily-of-the-field, Winter daffodil, Yellow Autumn crocus) is a colchiciflora.
This genus contains a number of species of flowering bulbs which rather resemble the Crocus. A bulb is an underground vertical Shoot that has modified leaves (or thickened leaf bases that are used as Food Storage organs by CROCUS is a Research reactor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland, sometimes described as zero power but in fact limited These plants produce golden-yellow goblet-shaped flowers borne on stalks some way above the ground that open during the autumn or early winter. The flower is composed of six stamens and a single style attached to an inferior ovary. The stamen ( Plural stamina or stamens, from Latin stamen meaning "thread of the warp " is the male In the Flowering plants an ovary is a part of the female reproductive organ of the flower or Gynoecium. Long, strap-like leaves may appear with the flowers or sometime after. The only two exceptions to this are S. vernalis and S. candida which flower in the spring, with S. candida producing striking white flowers.
The genus has gained notability due to the wide-spread use of S. lutea as a garden plant, and it has been found in cultivation for several hundred years, and the species has become naturalised in many parts of northern Europe, greatly extending the natural range of the species.
