Description
Family Iridaceae
Herbs perennial
(or shrubs
or annuals
), with rhizomes, bulbs, or corms. Leaves alternate, often 2-ranked, often oriented edgewise to aerial
stem, usually sword-shaped
to linear
, parallel veined, base
sheathing
. Inflorescence sometimes a spike or reduced to a solitary flower, more often of monochasial
, umbellate
cymes, each enclosed in 2 opposed bracts (spathes
) and termed a rhipidium, which may be solitary and terminal
or numerous
and variously arranged in racemes
or panicles; bracts 1 to several. Flowers bisexual
, showy, usually actinomorphic
(often zygomorphic elsewhere) . Perianth segments 6, in 2 whorls, inner and outer ones equal or differing in size and/or color; tube
filiform
or trumpet-shaped. Stamens (2 or) 3; anthers
extrorse
. Ovary inferior (or superior), 3-loculed; ovules few to many; placentation axile
. Style with filiform, slender, or petaloid
branches. Fruit a loculicidal capsule. Seeds with or without aril and wings
.
Between 70 and 80 genera and ca.
1800 species: nearly worldwide, especially S Africa, Asia, and Europe; three genera and 61 species (21 endemic, one introduced
) in China.[1]
Genus Gladiolus
Herbs, perennial
, from corms. Stems simple
or branched. Leaves 1-9; blade
lanceolate to linear
, plane
or margins
and/or midribs
variously raised and thickened (then H- or X-shaped in cross
section
), or evidently terete
, midribs and margins much thickened, grooved
; grooves
4, narrow, longitudinal
. Inflorescences spicate
, partly to fully secund
or with flowers weakly distichous; bracts green, sometimes flushed grayish purple, unequal, outer usually exceeding inner, acute or inner forked
or notched
apically. Flowers somewhat fragrant, zygomorphic [actinomorphic
]; tepals basally connate
into tube
, variously colored
, usually with contrasting markings comprising nectar guide
on outer tepals, usually unequal, dorsal tepal largest, arched to hooded
over stamens, outer 3 tepals narrower; perianth tube obliquely funnel-shaped to cylindric
; stamens usually unilateral
; anthers
usually parallel; style usually arching
over stamens, dividing into 3 filiform
branches, these distally expanded. Capsules usually slightly inflated
, oblong
to ellipsoid
or globose
[rarely nearly cylindric], softly cartilaginous
. Seeds usually many, broadly winged
; rarely few, wingless, globose or angular; seed coat
light to dark brown. x
= 15.
Species ca.
260: introduced
; Africa, Madagascar, Eurasia
.
Hybrid strains of Gladiolus are widely cultivated, and some wild species
are grown outdoors in areas with mild winters. The common, large-flowered hybrids are the product of crossing between four or five species, followed by selection. Named variously G. gandavensis L. van Houtte, G. lemoinei Baker, and G. hortulanus L. H. Bailey, these plants
are occasionally found in and near gardens and cemeteries and are easily recognized by their large, brightly colored flowers with the inner tepals 60-70 mm long and the outer tepals about 50 mm long. They reproduce mainly vegetatively and persist for some years where winters are mild; they show no evidence of spreading
into native
vegetation.[2]
