Species of flowering plant
Fritillaria sewerzowii is a
perennial
herbaceous
bulbous plant, distributed in alpine areas of central Asia. It is a
species in the
genus
Fritillaria , in the lily
family
Liliaceae . It is placed in the
subgenus Korolkowia .
Fritillaria sewerzowii reaches a height of 20–50 cm. The egg-shaped bulb is about 5 cm in diameter. The leaves are fleshy and broadly oval at the base of the
plant stem and are up to 15 cm in length and evenly distributed up the stem. The plant produces four to ten purple-brown star-shaped individual flowers, 3 cm in length, arising from the leaf axes in the upper stem. F. sewerzowii blooms in early March.
First described by
Regel in 1868,
Baker (1874), who divided
Fritillaria into
subgenera , placed F. sewerzowii in
subgenus Korolkowia as its sole species. Although some authors have treated Korolkowia as a separate genus,
molecular phylogenetics has shown that it is embedded within
Fritillaria .
Fritillaria sewerzowii is found in scrub on rocky slopes or lightly wooded areas of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan at 1000–3000 metres altitude.
Fritillaria sewerzowii is winter
hardy (
USDA 4-8), but requires well drained soil.
