Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox
Eucomis zambesiaca is a bulbous plant in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae, native to southern Africa, from Zimbabwe through Malawi to the Limpopo Province of South Africa.[1] One of the smaller species in the genus, it has a rosette of leaves about Шаблон:Convert across and white flowers in a spike to about Шаблон:Convert tall.[2]
Description
Eucomis zambesiaca is a summer-growing bulbous plant reaching about Шаблон:Cvt in height when in flower. The actual bulb is relatively small, about Шаблон:Cvt in diameter, but is attached to an enlarged basal plate. The green leaves reach Шаблон:Cvt long by Шаблон:Cvt wide. The sweetly scented flowers are white when they open in mid to late summer, turning green later, and are loosely arranged in a raceme on Шаблон:Cvt long stalks (pedicels). The raceme, which is variable in width, is topped by a head or "coma" of short, somewhat pointed bracts.[3][4] The species resembles Eucomis autumnalis, but this has flowers that are yellow-green rather than white when fully open and releasing pollen, angled rather than drooping pedicels, and densely packed rather than well spaced individual flowers.[5]
Taxonomy
Eucomis zambesiaca was collected by John Kirk in 1859 while accompanying David Livingstone on an expedition.[3] It was first described scientifically by John Gilbert Baker in 1886.[1] E. zambesiaca is one of the mainly short, diploid species of Eucomis with 2n = 2x = 30 chromosomes.[6]
Distribution and habitat
Eucomis zambesiaca is native to southern Africa, from Zimbabwe through Malawi to the Limpopo Province of South Africa.[1] It is a highland species; in Zimbabwe it was found growing in short grassland at around Шаблон:Cvt.[3]
Cultivation
Eucomis zambesiaca is grown as an ornamental plant. It has been described as "one of the prettiest species" of Eucomis.[3] It has proved to be frost-hardy in the United Kingdom in well drained soil or dry sites with wall protection. It can also be grown in containers. The bulbs increase readily.[3][4]
E. zambesiaca 'White Dwarf' is a cultivar listed by the Royal Horticultural Society.[7] It often sold in Europe under the incorrect species name Eucomis autumnalis.[8]
