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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
