Gagea soleirolii is a European flowering plant of the lily family. It is native to Spain (including the Balearic Islands), France (including Corsica), Portugal and Sardinia. [1] [2] [3] [4]
The lily family, Liliaceae, consists of about 254 genera and about 4075 known species of flowering plants within the order Liliales. They are monocotyledonous, perennial, herbaceous, often bulbous geophytes. Plants in this family have evolved with a fair amount of morphological diversity despite genetic similarity. Common characteristics include large flowers with parts arranged in threes: with six colored or patterned petaloid tepals arranged in two whorls, six stamens and a superior ovary. The leaves are linear in shape, with their veins usually arranged parallel to the edges, single and arranged alternating on the stem, or in a rosette at the base. Most species are grown from bulbs, although some have rhizomes. First described in 1789, the lily family became a paraphyletic "catch-all" (wastebasket) group of petaloid monocots that did not fit into other families and included a great number of genera now included in other families and in some cases in other orders. Consequently, many sources and descriptions labelled "Liliaceae" deal with the broader sense of the family.
Gagea is a large genus of spring flowers in the lily family. It is found primarily in Eurasia with a few species extending into North Africa and North America.
Gagea lutea, known as the yellow star-of-Bethlehem, is a Eurasian flowering plant species in the family Liliaceae. It is widespread in central Europe with scattered populations in Great Britain, Spain, and Norway to Siberia and Japan.
Gagea bohemica, the early star-of-Bethlehem or Radnor lily, is a European and Mediterranean species of flowering plant in the lily family. It is sometimes referred to as the Welsh Star-of-Bethlehem.
Gagea serotina, synonym Lloydia serotina, is an Arctic–alpine flowering plant of the lily family. It is widespread across the mountainous parts of western North America, from Alaska to New Mexico, and in Europe is found in the Alps and Carpathians, as well as in Great Britain. It is also native to much of Central Asia, Siberia, China, Nepal, Mongolia, Korea and Japan.
Gagea minima is a Eurasian species of plants in the lily family.
Gagea spathacea, the Belgian gagea, is a European species of small bulbous perennial plants in the lily family. It is distinguished from other members of its genus by its large leaves and the lack of any surface ornamentation of its flower stalks and its leaves.
The TulipeaeDuby is a tribe of monocotyledon perennial, herbaceous mainly bulbous flowering plants in the Liliaceae (Lily) family. As originally conceived by Duby (1828), "Tulipaceae" was a tribe within Liliaceae, consisting of the genera Tulipa, Fritillaria and Lilium.
Gagea liotardii is a Eurasian and North African species of plants in the lily family. It is a bulb-forming perennial up to 15 cm tall. Flowers are generally bright yellow to yellow-green. Its native range stretches from Spain and Morocco to Mongolia.
Gagea bulbifera is a Eurasian species of plants in the lily family, widespread from Romania to Xinjiang. It is native to Romania, Russia, South Caucasus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Iran, Turkey, Xinjiang, Western Himalayas.
Gagea olgae is an Asian species of plants in the lily family. It is native to Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Xinjiang.
Gagea kunawurensis is an Asian species of plants in the lily family. It is native to Central Asia, Xinjiang, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Western Himalayas, and South Caucasus.
Gagea pauciflora is an Asian species of plants in the lily family. It is native to Mongolia, Russia, and China.
Gagea tenera is an Asian species of flowering plants in the lily family. It is native to Xinjiang, Central Asia, the Western Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and South Caucasus.
Gagea chrysantha is a European species of plants in the lily family, found only in Italy. It is native to the regions of Sardinia, Sicily, Calabria, Basilicata, and Apulia. Similar populations from the eastern Mediterranean have long been referred to G. chrysantha but recent evidence suggests that this group is actually a complex of several species rather than a single species.
Gagea dubia is a Mediterranean species of plants in the lily family. It is native to Morocco, Spain, France, Sardinia, Sicily, Greece including Crete, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran.
Gagea lacaitae is a Mediterranean and Black Sea species of plants in the lily family. It is native to Spain incl. Balearic Islands, France incl. Corsica, Italy, Morocco, and Algeria.
Gagea peduncularis is a Mediterranean plant species in the lily family. It is native to Italy (Apulia), Greece, the Balkans, Turkey, Cyprus, and Libya.
Gagea ramulosa is a Eurasian and North African plant species in the lily family. It is native to France, Sardinia, Sicily, Greece, Turkey, Libya, Ukraine, European Russia, Caucasus, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. Some authors consider this to be the same species as G. dubia, but the World Checklist does have it listed as a distinct species.
Gagea trinervia is a Mediterranean species of small bulbous perennial plants lily family. It is found only on the Island of Sicily and in the northeastern part of Libya.
