Description
Vegetative characteristics
The Yellow Daylily is reached inch by a deciduous, perennial herbaceous plant that plant height usually 70 to 80 (50 to 100). As outlasting it forms short rhizomes. Your fibrous roots are somewhat fleshy or knit -like and sometimes thickened bulbous.
Many leaves are at the base of and double-spaced. The simple, parallel venation, dark green leaf blades are at a length of 20 to rare, usually 50 to 70 inches and a width of 0.3 to mostly 0.8 to 1.5 centimeters linear sharpened top end; it is keeled.
Generative features
In China is the flowering season between June and August. The more or less upright, not flipped, stalk round, bald inflorescence stem is branched only at the top and slightly shorter or longer than the leaves. In the composite inflorescence are two zymöse part inflorescences, each containing two to four, rarely five flowers; So in total there are eight to twelve flowers in total inflorescence. There are sometimes some bracts present. The bracts are lanceolate with a length of 2 to 6 ( to 8) inches and a width of 5 to 7 mm. The flower stems are relatively short with a length of 1 to 2 centimeters.
The hermaphrodite flowers are slightly zygomorphic and threefold. The strong sweet lemon-like, fragrant flowers open in the afternoon, stay open overnight and wilt after one to three days. The six bracts are fused to a 1.5 to 2.5 cm long cylindrical tube. All bloom are the same color light to bright lemon- yellow and are parallel veins visible. In the flower bud, the upper portion of the bloom is purple to green. During anthesis the bloom are laid out with smooth edge. The three outer bracts are 5-7 inches long and 1 to 1.6 inches wide. The inner bracts are 5 to 7.5 inches long and 1-2 inches wide. Thus, the inner bracts are slightly wider than the outer one. There are six stamens present. The free, thin bare stamens are 3 to 5.5 inches long and curved upwards. The anthers are sorted by author 2 to 3, or about 8 mm long and yellow or sometimes their upper side is dark purple. Three carpels are fused to a dreikammerigen, upper continuous, green ovary. The white to yellow pen is 7 to 8 inches long.
The fruit stalk is 2-4 mm long. The capsule fruit is at a height of 2 to rare usually 3 to 4 inches and a diameter of 1 to rare, usually 1.5 to 2 inches oblong- elliptical. In the dreifächerigen capsule fruit are in each fruit trade the seeds in two rows. The shiny black seeds are edged with a size of 3 to 5 millimeters round or by the narrowness of the fruit in the chamber.
The chromosome number is 2n = 22; it is diploid.
Occurrence
The distribution area of Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus are the temperate areas of eastern Asia. Natural deposits are found in Siberia, Russia's Far East, Japan, Korea, Mongolia and in the Chinese provinces of Gansu, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Henan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Jilin, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Shandong and Shanxi.
Yellow daylily is very early been introduced to Europe and wild there and is considered naturalized neophyte. Later she was also in North America for a sporadic neophytes.
In Europe, there are several small areas held by the Yellow daylily. She comes across Europe in the northeastern Italy, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Belgium, France, Portugal, Spain, Czech Republic, Romania, Albania, Ukraine, Slovakia and the United Kingdom.
In Burgenland is located in the nature reserve Luka Großmürbisch northwest of Großmürbisch in a small valley of the brook Reiner villages the most important ingredient in Austria. Also in Burgenland is a component in the nature reserve Jabinger cemetery meadows in Pinkatal at Jabing. The Natura 2000 area Guntschacher Au an der Drau in Carinthia is home Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus. In Natura 2000 area Lafnitztal - Neudauer ponds there is a presence in Styria and Burgenland. In Swabia the Taglilienfeld is located at St. Stephen's, a district of Rehling, north of Augsburg in Rehling.
Taxonomy
The first publication of Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus was in 1753 by Linnaeus in Species Plantarum, 1, pp. 324, there written " Lilio asphodel ." The genus name Hemerocallis is derived from the Greek words ἡμέρᾶ hemera day and κάλλος kallos, which refers to the short life of the individual, beautiful bloom. The specific epithet lilioasphodelus derived from lilium and asphodelus because it looks like these two plant taxa. Synonyms for Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus L. are: Hemerocallis flava (L.) L., Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus var flavus L., Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus var major hort, Hemerocallis lutea Gaertn. .
Use
Some species are used as ornamental plants in parks and gardens in temperate zones. When you choose the location you should make sure that they turn their blossoms after the position of the sun and the equator. The Yellow Daylily quickly forms dense stands and cover the floor. The withered leaves make a good winter protection.
The cooked small, tuberous portions of the roots taste like sweet corn and black root. Leaves and young aboveground plant parts before they are fibrous, eaten raw or cooked like asparagus or celery. Flower buds are eaten raw or cooked; they taste like green beans and contain 43 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, Vitamin A and 3.1% proteins. Flowers are eaten raw or cooked. If one picks the flowers just before they wither they can be used as a spice. The brewed and then dried flowers are a traditional food in China and for thickening soups.
The medical effects of Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus were investigated.
From the dried leaves a string is rotated and it made a footwear.
