The alstroemeriaceae (Alstroemeriaceae) are a plant family within the order of the lily-like (Liliales). The family Alstroemeriaceae is divided into two tribes and contains four genera with about 170 species , which are mainly distributed in the Neotropic and some species occur in New Zealand and Australia .

Appearance and leaves

The Alstroemerieae are perennial herbaceous plants with rhizomes or tubers as persistence organs, or the Luzuriageae are more or less woody plants. There are a few species that are climbing plants .

The alternate foliage leaves, which are arranged in a spiral in the Alstroemerieae or in two rows in the Luzuriageae, but never in a rosette, are divided into a petiole and a leaf blade. The relatively large leaves are resupinate as a special feature of this family, i.e. the leaf blade is twisted by about 180 degrees. The simple, flat leaf blade is parallel-veined and linear to lanceolate. The underside of the leaf is turned up and the leaf edge is smooth. The first macrofossil of the family, a leaf from the Miocene of New Zealand, also shows resupination (Conran et al. 2014).

Inflorescences and flowers

The flowers sit individually or in axillary or terminal, racemose or dold-like inflorescences (inflorescences) with leaf-like bracts .

The hermaphroditic, threefold flowers are radial symmetry in the Luzuriageae and mostly zygomorphic in the Alstroemerieae . The bracts are designed the same, therefore there are (2 × 3) six largely free or overgrown tepals , which in Alstroemerieae can be green, orange, red or pink and in Luzuriageae they are white. Nectar is secreted at the lower end of the tepals . There are two circles with three free stamens each . Three carpels are permanent or one at Alstroemerieae Upper constant at luzuriagaceae ovary grown with many ovules in most parietal placentation .

The flower formula is: or or or

Fruits and seeds

They form capsule fruits or sometimes berries . The seed coat (testa) is thin.

Barthélemy Charles Joseph Dumortier established the family of Alstroemeriaceae in 1829 as part of the "Iridarieae". With Alstroemeria salsilla , the genus Alstroemeria was established by Carl von Linné in Planta Alströmeria in 1762 and named it in honor of his student Claes Alströmer (1736–1794); it is the type genus of the family.

The molecular genetic studies have led to the fact that the family boundaries within the order of the lily-like (Liliales) have shifted significantly. The species of the former Luzuriagaceae Lotsy family were incorporated into the Alstroemeriaceae family.

The following cladogram shows the relationships within the family of the Alstroemeriaceae and to the other families within the order of the Liliales.

The family Alstroemeriaceae is divided into two tribes and contains four genera with about 170 species :

  • Tribus Alstroemerieae Bernhardi : It contains only two genera with around 165 species in the Neotropic from the temperate to the tropical areas:
    • Alstroemeria ( Alstroemeria L. , Syn .: Schickendantzia Pax , Taltalia Ehr.Bayer ): The approximately 126 species are used in the Neotropics.
    • Bomarea ( Bomarea Mirb. , Syn .: Vandesia Salisb. , Collania Herb. Nom. Illeg., Sphaerine Herb. , Dodecasperma Raf. , Wichuraea M.Roem. , Danbya Salisb. , Leontochir Phil. ): The 100 to 110 species are distributed in the Neotropics from central Mexico and the Caribbean Islands to South America.
Three monotypical genera were dissolved from 1999, since the lion's paw Leontochir ovallei Phil. As Bomarea ovallei (Phil.) Ravenna to the genus Bomarea , Schickendantzia hieronymi Pax as Alstroemeria pygmaea Herb. and Taltalia graminea (Phil.) Ehr.Bayer was added to the genus Alstroemeria as Alstroemeria graminea Phil .

use

Varieties from the genus Alstroemeria are used as ornamental plants , especially as cut flowers .

With some Bomarea species, the starchy, underground plant parts are eaten cooked.
