Bomarea is one of the two major genera in the plant family Alstroemeriaceae. Most occur in the Andes,[4] but some occur well into Central America, Mexico and the West Indies.[2] Some species are grown as ornamental plants.[5][6][7]
Description
[edit]Vegetative characteristics
[edit]Bomarea are terrestrial, erect or scandent herbs[8] with resuspinate leaves.[9]
Generative characteristics
[edit]The bisexual flowers have a campanulate to funnel-shaped perianth[8] with free tepals.[1]
Taxonomy
[edit]It was published by Charles-François Brisseau de Mirbel in 1802.[10] The lectotype Bomarea ovata (Cav.) Mirb. was designated in 1995.[1] Bomarea is divided into four subgenera, Baccata, Bomarea, Sphaerine, and Wichuraea. The largest is Bomarea with about 70 species.[11]
There are about 110[12] to 122 species[11] in the genus.
