This member of the Hyacinthaceae
family was described by Joseph Marie Henry Alfred Perrier de la
Bâthie in 1931. It is found on
western Madagascar, growing in a well drained soil with some water and some
sun. It will grow up to 20 centimetres high from a four centimetre
bulb, and it can be
reproduced both by seeds and bulbs.
The genera name from Latin
rhodo; 'rose' and the Greek kodon; 'bell' for the
flowers. The species name means 'round', again for the flowers.
*)Accordantly to the latest taxonomic system; APG IV 2016, Hyacinthaceae
is
now part of
the Asparagaceae. |
