Appearance and leaves

Fritillaria species are perennial herbaceous plants . The onion of these geophytes usually consists of two to three tightly packed, fleshy, starchy onion scales, which are initially protected by a thin, translucent outer skin, but which disappears with increasing age. Occasionally they also make small daughter onions.

The only stem per bulb is unbranched, upright and leafy. The leaves on the stem base , arranged in whorls , opposite or alternating , are petiolate and those on the stem are seated. The simple leaf blades are linear to more or less ovate.

Inflorescences and flowers

The mostly nodding flowers are, depending on the species, either individually or in several or many together in doldy or loosely racemose inflorescences . The bracts are similar to foliage.

The hermaphrodite flowers are threefold. There are two circles, each with three free, identical bracts and they stand together in the shape of a bell or a cup. The bracts are often patterned like a checkerboard with alternating light and dark squares and often have a green vertical stripe in the middle. At the base of the bracts there are conspicuous nectaries , they are better developed on the inner circle. There are two circles with three stamens each, which do not protrude over the bracts. The anthers are fused about halfway up the stamens . Three fruit leaves are a more or less sedentary, Upper permanent, dreikammerigen ovary grown. The one-piece or three-column and frail stylus ends in linealischen or very short scars .

Fruits and seeds

The upright, thin-walled capsule fruits are triple with six sometimes winged longitudinal edges, flattened at the top and open loculicidally lengthways. The many flat, yellowish to brownish seeds are arranged in two rows per fruit compartment.

Sets of chromosomes

The basic chromosome number is x = 12 or x = 13; chromosome fragments are often found.

Systematics and distribution

The genus Fritillaria was first published in 1753 by Carl von Linné in Species Plantarum . Their type species is Fritillaria meleagris L. The scientific genus name Fritillaria goes back to the Latin word fritillus for "dice cup" and alludes to the shape of the flowers and the square pattern. Synonyms for Fritillaria L. are: Amblirion Raf. , Baimo Raf. , Corona fish. ex Graham , Eucrinum (Nutt.) Lindl. , Imperialis Adans. , Korolkowia rule , Liliorhiza Kellogg , Lyperia Salisb. , Melorima Raf. , Monocodon Salisb. , Ochrocodon Rydb. , Petilium Ludw. , Rhinopetalum fish. ex D.Don , Theresia K. Koch , Tozzettia Parl. , Sarana Fisch. ex Baker .

The genus Fritillaria is closely related to the lilies ( Lilium ) and Nomocharis . They belong to the tribe Lilieae in the subfamily Lilioideae within the family Liliaceae .

The 100 to 140 species of Fritillaria are all common in the temperate areas of the northern hemisphere . The centers of diversity are Central Asia and the Mediterranean . There are around 30 species in Turkey. There are about 24 species in China, 15 of them only there. About 20 species are found in North America. Only the chess flower ( Fritillaria meleagris ), which is endangered in Germany and Austria, is found in the wild in Central Europe .

There are 100 to 140 types of fritillaria :

Medical use

Because of the toxicity of the Fritillaria species, medical use is obsolete in Western Europe. These plants are also undesirable in the feed of grazing animals.
