Aeginetia flava | |
Aeginetia flava is a plant in the broomrape family Orobanchaceae, native to Thailand. The specific epithet flava means 'yellow' or 'golden yellow', referring to the flowers. [2]
Aeginetia flava grows as a herb with stems 15–20 centimetres (6–8 in) tall. The flowers, solitary on the stem, feature bright yellow petals. The ovoid fruits are capsules measuring up to 1.4 cm (0.6 in) long. [2]
Aeginetia flava is endemic to Thailand, where it is confined to Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Sanctuary. Its habitat is in rainforest, at altitudes of 1,400–1,540 m (4,600–5,100 ft). In common with other species of its genus, Aeginetia flava is parasitic. In this population, it attaches to the roots of a Strobilanthes species. [2]
A daylily, day lily or ditch-lily is a flowering plant in the genus Hemerocallis, a member of the family Asphodelaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae, native to Asia. Despite the common name, it is not, in fact, a lily, nor does it specifically grow in ditches. Gardening enthusiasts and horticulturists have long bred Hemerocallis species for their attractive flowers; a select few species of the genus have edible petals, while some are extremely toxic. Thousands of cultivars have been registered by the American Daylily Society, the only internationally recognized registrant according to the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP).. The plants are perennial, bulbous plants, whose common name alludes to its flowers, which typically last about a day.
Rhinanthus minor, known as yellow rattle, is a herbaceous wildflower in the genus Rhinanthus in the family Orobanchaceae.
