The common name derives from the Latin ''tuberosa'', meaning swollen or tuberous in reference to its root system. ''Polianthes'' means "many flowers" in Greek. In Mexican Spanish, the flower is called ''nardo'' or ''vara de San José'', which means "St. Joseph’s staff". This plant is called as rajanigandha in India,〔(), (), (), (), ()〕 which means 'fragrant at night'. It is called kupaloke in Hawaiian The tuberose is a night-blooming plant native to Mexico, as is every other known species of ''Polianthes''.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, genus ''Polianthes'' )〕 It grows in elongated spikes up to 45 cm (18 in) long that produce clusters of fragrant waxy white flowers that bloom from the bottom towards the top of the spike. It has long, bright green leaves clustered at the base of the plant and smaller, clasping leaves along the stem. Epiphyllous adhesion of stamens is seen in the flower.〔Morphology of Flowering Plants, Higher Biology, Dulal Chandra Santra〕 Members of the closely related genus ''Manfreda'' are often called "tuberoses". In the Philippines, the plant is also known as ''azucena'', and, while once associated with funerals, it is now used in floral arrangements for other occasions. == Cultivation == Hardiness: Zones 8-10〔(Brent and Becky's Bulbs )〕 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「Polianthes tuberosa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
