A bulbous plant of the Amaryllidaceae family. The name was chosen in memory of the Duke of Brunswick, and the English name comes from the resemblance of the flower to a candlestick. There are about 10 species distributed in South Africa, and several species are cultivated for their interestingly shaped flowers that resemble amaryllis. In Japan, they flower from late summer to autumn, and the leaves unfold after the flowers. [Torazaburo Kawabata] Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
ヒガンバナ科の球根植物。語源はブルンズウィック公を記念したもので,英名は花容がろうそくの大燭台に似る点よりきている。南アフリカに10種あまりが分布していて,数種がアマリリスに似たおもしろい形をした花を観賞するために栽植される。日本では晩夏から秋に花をつけ,花後,葉を展開する。【川畑 寅三郎】
