Uvularia
Uvularia is a genus of plants in the family Colchicaceae, close to the lily family (Liliaceae). They are commonly called Bellworts, Bellfowers or Merrybells. This unusual flower is found in April and May, often on wooded slopes or in ravines and it spreads by stolons or stoloniferus rhizomes. The plants are usually 18 to 24 inches (45?60 cm) in height and bear one or two flowers which hang downward from the axils of the leaves. [more]
At least 48 species and subspecies belong to the Genus Uvularia.
