{{Inc| Merendera (from quita meriendas, Spanish name of Colchicum autumnale; some of these plants formerly considered to belong to Colchicum). Liliaceae. Small spring-blooming plants, classed as "bulbs;" little grown. About 12 species of bulbous plants, mostly natives of the Medit. region and Asia, one in Abyssinia. They belong to the same tribe with Colchicum and Bulbocodium, but Colchicum has a real corolla-tube, while the other two genera have 6 very long-clawed segms. which are merely connivent, forming a loose tube at first and afterward separating. In Merendera there are 3 styles which are distinct from the base, while in Bulbocodium the style is 3-cut only at the apex. Merenderas are low stemless plants with tunicated corms: lvs. linear, appearing with the fls.: fls. 1-3, appearing in spring or fall, mostly lilac-colored. The genus is divided by Baker into two groups, based on the anthers. The 2 species described below belong to the group with small, oblong, versatile anthers, which are fastened at the middle rather than the base. They are hardy spring- blooming plants with about 3 lvs., and fls. 1-1 ½in across. These plants are procurable from Dutch bulb growers. They are pretty, small-fld., hardy, fragile plants which persist well under good garden cultivation. The garden names are confused. M. ruthenica is probably Bulbocodium ruthenicum, which is a form of B. vernum. }} ==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.
