''Anthericum'' is a genus of about 300 species, rhizomatous perennial plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae. It was formerly placed in its own family, Anthericeae. The species have rhizomatous or tuberous roots, long narrow leaves and branched stems carrying starry white flowers. The members of this genus occur mainly in the tropics and southern Africa and Madagascar, but are also represented in Europe.〔(Altervista Flora Italiana, genere ''Anthericum'' )〕 The generic name ''Anthericum'' is derived from the Greek word ανθερικος (''antherikos''), meaning "straw", referring to the narrow leaves. Only two species are in general cultivation. A number of species are now included in the genus ''Chlorophytum'', the Spider Plant, a familiar and popular house plant. Others, including the St. Bruno's Lily, are now classed in the genus ''Paradisea''. ==Selected species== *''Anthericum acuminatum'' Rendle *''Anthericum baeticum'' *''Anthericum falcatum'' L.f. *''Anthericum japonicum'' Thunb. *''Anthericum liliago'' L. – St. Bernard's lily *''Anthericum ramosum'' L. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anthericum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
