''Nerine sarniensis'' (Guernsey lily, Jersey lily〔) is a species of flowering plant. Despite its common name it is neither a true lily nor does it originate from the Channel Isles. In fact, as a member of Amaryllidaceae it is more closely related to ''Amaryllis'' and ''Sternbergia''. It is native to the Northern and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa, though it is now naturalized in France, Madeira and Azores.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕 ''Nerine sarniensis'' is a bulbous perennial growing to tall by wide, with strap-shaped leaves and umbels of crimson, lily-like flowers with conspicuous stamens, in late summer and early autumn.〔(Herbert, William. 1820. Botanical Magazine 47: t. 2124, ''Nerine sarniensis'' )〕 Widely cultivated in the temperate world, it is particularly associated with the island of Guernsey, as reflected in both its Latin and common names (''sarniensis'' means "from Guernsey"). It requires winter protection in colder areas. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=3628 )〕Nerine lily is known among florists as one of the longest lasting flowers there is. ==References== * 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「Nerine sarniensis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
