'''''Sternbergia''''' is a genus in [[Amaryllidaceae]] of around 8 species that show a broad distribution throughout Mediterranean Europe and Asia, and was first described by [[Charles de l'Écluse|Clusius]] in 1601 as ''[[Narcissus]]'', before being redescribed by [[Carl Linnaeus]] as ''[[Amaryllis]]'' in 1753. The plant referred to by both these descriptions is now recognised as being ''[[Sternbergia lutea]]'', which was described by [[Franz de Paula Adam von Waldstein|Franz von Waldstein]] and [[Pál Kitaibel]] in 1803, although their first validation of the name ''Sternbergia'' was applied to ''[[Sternbergia colchiciflora|S. colchiciflora]]''. This genus contains a number of species of flowering [[bulbs]] which rather resemble the [[Crocus]]. These plants produce golden-yellow goblet-shaped flowers borne on stalks some way above the ground that open during the autumn or early winter. The flower is composed of six [[stamens]] and a single [[Gynoecium|style]] attached to an [[inferior ovary]]. Long, strap-like leaves may appear with the flowers or sometime after. The only two exceptions to this are ''[[Sternbergia vernalis|S. vernalis]]'' and ''[[Sternbergia candida|S. candida]]'' which flower in the spring, with ''S. candida'' producing striking white flowers. The genus has gained notability due to the wide-spread use of ''S. lutea'' as a garden plant, and it has been found in cultivation for several hundred years, and the species has become naturalised in many parts of northern Europe, greatly extending the natural range of the species. {{Inc| Sternbergia (named for Count Caspar Sternberg, a botanist and writer, 1761-1838). Amaryllidaceae. Low-growing bulbous herbs, hardy and used for outdoor planting. Leaves produced after or with the fl., strap-shaped or linear: scape short: fls. frequently solitary, rarely 2, bright yellow; perianth funnel-shaped, erect, tube short or rather long, lobes linear or lanceolate, erect-spreading; filaments filiform, free; ovary 3-celled: fr. fleshy, ovoid or oblong, scarcely dehiscent; seeds subglobose.— About a dozen species, E. Eu. to Asia Minor. The bulbs should be planted rather deeply, about 6 in. J. N. Gerard says of their culture that they require a rather heavy soil, in a somewhat dry sunny position where they will be well ripened in summer. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== ''[[Sternbergia lutea]]'' ''[[Sternbergia sicula]]'' ''[[Sternbergia candida]]'' ''[[Sternbergia vernalis]]'' ''[[Sternbergia clusiana]]'' ''[[Sternbergia colchiciflora]]'' ''[[Sternbergia schubertii]]'' ''[[Sternbergia pulchella]]'' ''[[Sternbergia greuteriana]] '' ''[[Sternbergia minoica]] '' ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
