Eucomis vandermerweiとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Eucomis vandermerwei is a South African plant and a member of the Asparagus family (Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae), and like other members of Eucomis is commonly known as Pineapple Lily for its resemblance to that plant. This species is one of the smallest in the genus - some 100 mm tall - and is native to the high-rainfall Steenkampsberg, 60 km north of Belfast in Mpumalanga. The dense rosette of leaves, either prostrate or ascending, is heavily blotched with purple, and leaf-edges are markedly crisped or wavy. The attractive burgundy flowers appear in midsummer (November-January).
