lysichiton การใช้

• "Lysichiton " has flowers which are typical of those of the family to which it belongs ( the arum family or Araceae ).
• The genus " Lysichiton " was created by rules of botanical nomenclature; accordingly older sources use this spelling as the generic name for both species.
• Specific species include Belamcanda chinensis, Caltha palustris var . nipponica, Carex podogyna, Lysichiton camtschatcense, Menyanthes trifoliata, Myrica gale var . tomentosa, Potamogeton distinctus, and Primula japonica.
• Along with other members of the subfamily Orontioideae, " Lysichiton " has been placed in a group of " proto-aroids ", which appear to have evolved before the characteristic features of most aroids emerged.
• Lord Fairhaven cleared what is now the main garden, introducing shade and water loving plants including candelabra primulae by the thousand, yellow flowering Lysichiton americanus ( skunk cabbage ), camellias and rhododendrons specially imported from the Himalayas.
• The subfamily consists of three genera namely, " Lysichiton " ( one to two species of skunk cabbage from North America and Asia ), " Orontium " ( golden club, one living species from eastern North America and two extinct species known from fossils ), and " Symplocarpus " ( several species of skunk cabbage from North America and Asia ).
• At flowering time these are almost undeveloped in " L . camtschatcensis ", but about half grown in " L . americanus " . " Lysichiton americanus " has broader leaves, rounded at the base, with glossy upper surfaces, whereas " L . camtschatcensis " has less broad leaves, more pointed at the base, with dull, somewhat grey-green ( glaucuous ) upper surfaces.
