description

Foliage leaves and inflorescence of Pinellia cordata .

Pinellia species grow as perennial herbaceous plants . Tubers are formed as permanent organs; Brood nodules are also formed in the leaf axils. Two to five leaves stand together in a basal rosette. The leaves are divided into a petiole and a leaf blade. The leaf blade is simple to compound.

Pinellia species are single sexed ( monoecious ). As with most Aroideae , the inflorescence consists of an inflorescence stem, only a bract ( spathe ) and the piston ( spadix ). The inflorescence stem is longer than the petioles. In the piston (spadix) there are male flowers below and female flowers above , which are separated from each other by a membrane. The reduced flowers have no bracts . The male flowers thus contain only two stamens with short stamens. The female flowers contain only one ovary . The berries stay green even when ripe and contain only one seed.

distribution

The genus Pinellia is native to East Asia. Pinellia species are found in China , Korea, and Japan .

Systematics

The genus Pinellia was established in 1839 by Michele Tenore in Atti della Reale Accademia delle Scienze: Sezione della Societa Reale Borbonica , 4, p. 69. The generic name Pinellia honors the Italian Giovanni Vincenzo Pinelli (1535–1601), an Italian scholar in Naples. He owned a large library and his private garden 'Giardina della Montagnole' later became one of the first botanical gardens in Naples.

There are about ten species of Pinellia , eight of them in China:
