herbaceous

The genus Lilium are herbaceous flowering plants normally growing from bulbs,comprising a genus of about 110 species in the lily family,Liliaceae.They are important as large showy flowering garden plants,and in literature.Some of the bulbs have been consumed by people.The species in this genus are the true lilies,while other plants with lily in the common name are related to other groups of plants.Range Lilies are native to the northern temperate regions.Their range in the Old World extends across much of Europe,the north Mediterranean,across most of Asia to Japan,south to the Nilgiri mountains in India,and south to the Philippines.In the New World they extend from southern Canada through much of the United States.They are commonly adapted to either woodland habitats,often montane,or sometimes to grassland habitats.A few can survive in marshland and a single one is known to live as an epiphyte (L.arboricola).In general they prefer moderately acidic or lime-free soils.[edit] Botany Lilium 'Citronella'Lilies are leafy stemmed herbs.They form naked or tunic-less scaly underground bulbs from which they overwinter.In some North American species the base of the bulb develops into rhizomes,on which numerous small bulbs are found.Some species develop stolons.Very few species form near the soil surface.Many species form stem-roots.With these,the bulb grows naturally at some depth in the soil,and each year the new stem puts out adventitious roots above the bulb as it emerges from the soil.These roots are in addition to the basal roots that develop at the base of the bulb.The large flowers have six tepals,often fragrant,and come in a range of colours ranging through whites,yellows,oranges,pinks,reds and purples.Markings include spots,brush strokes and picotees.
百合属植物开花的草本植物,通常由灯泡增长,其中包括约110个属百合科,属百合科物种.它们是重要的大型园林植物艳丽的花,和文学.在灯泡有些已经消耗了人.在该属种是真正的百合花,而在公用名百合其他植物是关系到植物的其他群体.范围百合原产于北温带地区.他们在旧世界的范围扩展到了欧洲大部分地区,北地中海,在亚洲大部分地区的日本,在印度南部的尼尔吉里山,南到菲律宾.在新的世界,他们从加拿大南部延伸,通过许多美国.它们通常适合于任何树林,往往山地,或有时草原栖息地.有几个可以生存,沼泽地和单一的一个被称为生活作为真菌（湖藤）.一般来说,他们喜欢在酸性或石灰适度无土壤.[编辑]植物百合'Citronella'Lilies是叶菜源于草药.它们形成肉眼或上衣无鳞片地下球茎从他们越冬.在一些北美物种的灯泡基础,使其根茎,在这众多的小灯泡找到发展.有些品种发展匍匐茎.非常接近地表数种形式.许多物种形成干根.有了这些,灯泡在一些自然生长的土壤深度,每年提出新的干上述不定根的灯泡,因为它从土壤中出现.这些根源,除了发展基础根源在灯泡基地.大花有6花被,往往香,并有各种颜色等,通过一系列的白人,黄,橙,粉红色,红色和紫色.标志包括景点,笔触和picotees.
