'''''Anthericum''''' is a [[genus]] of about 300 species, rhizomatous [[perennial plant]]s in the family [[Agavaceae]]. The species have [[Rhizome|rhizomatous]] or [[tuber]]ous roots, long narrow leaves and branched stems carrying starry white [[flower]]s. The members of this [[genus]] occurs mainly in the tropical and southern Africa and Madagascar, but also represented in Europe. '''Etymology''' - the generic name ''Anthericum'' is derived from the Greek antherikos (straw), referring ro the narrow leaves. Only two species are in general cultivation. A number of species are now included in the genus ''[[Chlorophytum]]'', the Spider Plant, a familiar and popular house plant. Others, including the St. Bruno's Lily, are now classed in the genus ''[[Paradisea]]''. *''[[Anthericum baeticum]]'' *''[[Anthericum liliago]]'' (St Bernard's Lily) *''[[Anthericum ramosum]]'' {{Inc| Anthericum (Greek, flower hedge). Includes Phalangium. Liliaceae. Non-bulbous liliaceous plants grown in borders and cool greenhouses. Herbs, with tuber-like rhizomes, and racemes of rather small, white, deep-cut fls.: perianth rotate; anthers attached between their basal lobes, and the locules many-ovuled—in these characters differing from Paradisea.—Some 50 species, mostly African, but a few in the western hemisphere. The anthericums are useful for lawn vases, for borders that are protected in winter at the North, for greenhouses and also for growing under benches. Propagation naturally by stolons; increased also by division and seeds. Of easiest culture. Give plenty of water when in bloom. A. Bichetii, Hort. Lvs. flexible, variegated with white; elegant habit. W. Trop. Afr.—A. californicum, Hort.-Chlorogalum pomeridianum.—A. Hoffmannii, Engler. Free-flowering: Lvs. 1 ft., 1¾ in. broad, shining green: fls.-sts. scarcely exceeding the Lvs.: fls. in dense panicles, star-shaped, white. E. Afr.— A. Liliastrum, Linn.—Paradisea Liliastrum.—A. picturatum, A. variegatum and A. vittatum are garden names for Chlorophytum elatum. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
