''Fritillaria biflora'' (chocolate lily, mission bells) is a species of fritillary native to western California and northern Baja California.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔(Biota of North America Program )〕 It occurs in the chaparral and woodlands ecoregion, often in serpentine soil formations and hillside grassland habitats.〔(Flora of North America v 26 p 168, ''Fritillaria biflora'' )〕 ''Fritillaria biflora'' is a perennial herb up to 60 cm tall. It is called "chocolate lily" because its flowers can resemble the color of chocolate, although sometimes they are dark brown, greenish purple, or yellowish green.〔〔(Lindley, John. 1834. Edwards's Botanical Register 20: under pl. 1663. )〕 ''Fritillaria biflora''should not be confused with ''Arthropodium strictum'', which is also called "chocolate lily". In the latter, the scent is reminiscent of chocolate, rather than the color. The Kamchatka Fritillary (''F. camschatcensis'') is sometimes also called "chocolate lily" in Alaska. ==Varieties== Two varieties are recognized:〔〔 *''Fritillaria biflora'' var. ''biflora'' -- leaves widely lanceolate, most of the species range *Fritillaria biflora var. ineziana Jeps., Fl. Calif. 1: 306 (1922). -- leaves narrowly lanceolate, endangered taxon known only from one location in San Mateo County 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「Fritillaria biflora」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
