Wikipedia 설명

 

Puschkinia is a genus of four known species of bulbous perennials in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae.[2] It is native to the Caucasus and the Middle East.[1] Puschkinia scilloides is grown as an ornamental bulbous plant.

 

Description

The leaves are green, strap-like, and grow in pairs. The flowers are borne in early spring in racemes up to about 25 cm (10 in) high. The six tepals are joined at the base to form a tube to about half their length. Like members of the former genus Chionodoxa (now a section of Scilla), the bases of the stamens are flattened and closely clustered in the middle of the flower; however, unlike Chionodoxa, they are joined to form a cup or corona. In the related genus Scilla (squills), the stamens are not joined together. Seeds are borne in three-parted capsules. After the seed ripens in early summer, the plants become dormant until the next spring.[3][4]

Taxonomy

The genus Puschkinia was erected by Johann Friedrich Adam in 1805.[1] It is named in honor of the Russian botanist Apollo Mussin-Pushkin.[4] Now placed in the subfamily Scilloideae of the family Asparagaceae,[2] like other lilioid monocots, it was once included in the Liliaceae.

Species

As of April 2022, the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families accepted four species:[5]

Puschkinia bilgineri Yildirim – Turkey

Puschkinia kurdistanica Ruksans – Turkey

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 (9,800 ft)

Puschkinia scilloides Adams

 

Puschkinia scilloides is a small bulbous plant, growing to about 10–15 cm (4–6 in) tall. It has two narrow basal leaves that widen towards the tips (oblanceolate). The inflorescence appears in early spring and is a dense raceme with up to 20 flowers. The flowers are pale blue with a darker blue line in the centre of each tepal. A characteristic of the genus Puschkinia is a small cup surrounding the stamens and style.[5]

 

 

Puschkinia scilloides, commonly called striped squill, grows in a small clump to 4-6” tall. Each bulb typically produces two dark green strap-shaped leaves and a flower scape bearing 3-6 pale blue star-like flowers in a loose terminal raceme. Each flower petal has a blue inside center stripe, though some entirely white-petaled forms may be found. Flowers are fragrant. Blooms late winter to early spring.

 

Var. libanotica has pale blue to white, star-shaped flowers with deep blue midveins. It grows 0.25 to 0.5 ft. tall and wide. It is very similar to the species.
