Lindl. |
Leucocoryne is a genus of plants within the daffodil family(Amaryllidaceae). An English trivial name has also been "Glory of the Sun" since the 1920s (and from it a direct translation, sun shine, previously only used by suppliers of ornamental plants). The 48 or so species are only found in Chile .
description
The Leucocoryne species grow as perennial herbaceous plants. They form onions as persistence organs. The pleasantly smelling flowers can be white, blue or purple and are in umbels . They have three horn-like, sterile stamens ( staminodes ). The flowers appear in late spring and die in summer. Even with a very low weight (from 0.1 g for Leucocoryne coquimbensis ) the bulbs can develop flowers that last for over a month. The typically long and narrow leaves do not appear until late autumn. These smell like the underground bulb of onions.
Occurrence
The genus Leucocoryne occurs only in Chile . Many species grow in the Atacama region in northern Chile, where they have an altitude distribution from sea level to 1000 meters above sea level. Specialists such as Leucocoryne appendiculata or Leucocoryne coronata can survive years of drought underground and at the same time sprout and bloom when unusually heavy rain occurs. Together with hundreds of other plant species, this leads to the phenomenon of the blooming Atacama Desert .
Systematics
The genus Leucocoryne was placed in Edwards's Botanical Register by John Lindley in 1830 . Type species is Leucocoryne odorata Lindl. Synonyms for Leucocoryne Lindl. are: Antheroceras Bertero , Chrysocoryne Zoellner nom. illeg., Erinna Phil. , Pabellonia Quezada & Martic. , Stemmatium Phil. , Stephanolirion Baker . The generic name Leucocoryne is derived from the ancient Greek words leucós λευκός for white and coryne κορύνη for club.
