  • Chapter

Part of the book series: The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants ((FAMILIES GENERA,volume 3))

Abstract

Bulbous (rarely rhizomatous), mostly geophytic, perennials, terrestrial, occasionally aquatic or epiphytic, rich in family-specific alkaloids. Bulbs tunicate. Leaves annual or persistent, sessile and linear or lorate, or petiolate and lanceolate to widely elliptic, distichous or spirally arranged; sometimes basally sheathing and forming an aerial pseudostem, usually glabrous, rarely with trichomes. Inflorescence scapose, pseudoumbellate (reduced helicoid cymes); scape sometimes wholly subterranean and appearing obsolete, terminated by 2 or more spathaceous, obvolute or equitant, usually marcescent bracts that enclose the flowers in bud (bracts rarely absent); inner bracteoles usually present and successively shorter and narrower. Flowers 1–many, perfect, frequently large and showy, sessile or pedicellate, each usually subtended by a bracteole, actinomorphic or zygomorphic, generally protandrous.
