''Puschkinia'' is a genus of two known species of bulbous perennials in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. It is native to the Caucasus and the Middle East.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕 This genus is named in honor of the Russian botanist Apollo Mussin-Pushkin. It was once included in the Liliaceae. Leaves are green and strap-like, growing in twos. Flowers are borne in early spring in racemes to 25 cm (6 in) high. Seeds are borne in three-parted capsules. After seed ripens in early summer, plants go dormant till the next spring. Like members of the genus ''Chionodoxa'', the bases of the stamens are flattened and closely clustered in the middle of the flower. In the related genus ''Scilla'', the stamens are not flattened or clustered together. ==Species== , the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families accepted only two species:〔Search for "Puschkinia", 〕 * ''Puschkinia peshmenii'' Rix & B.Mathew - native to Turkey and Iran * ''Puschkinia scilloides'' Adams (Striped Squill) - native to the Caucasus, Turkey, northern Iran and Lebanon; found in mountain meadows and stony slopes up to 3,000 m 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「Puschkinia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
