This member of the Liliaceae family was given this name by
Otto Stapf in
1934. It is found
in low mountain forests from Afghanistan to Nepal, growing in a well drained soil with
some water and little to some sun. The bulb can grow to four
centimetres in diameter, the entire plant to 45 centimetres in
height, 90 centimetres with the flowers, which are from pink over
lavander to rosy in colour.
This plant is a wintergrower. *) I thought the Liliaceae
family had been split up completely, but I don't seem to find any
other family for this plant. |
