Which plant is grown as an ornamental species, Notholirion or Bomarea?
Bomarea Bomarea is one of the two major genera in the plant family Alstroemeriaceae. Most occur in the Andes, but some occur well into Central America, Mexico and the West Indies. Some species are grown as ornamental plants.
Phebalium nottii Phebalium nottii, the pink phebalium, is a shrub which is native to Queensland and New South Wales in Australia. It grows to between 1 and 3 metres in height and produces pink flowers in the spring. The stamens, which have bright yellow anthers, are distinctively offset to one side of the flower. The species was first formally described and named as "Eriostemon nottii" by Ferdinand von Mueller in "Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae" in 1868. It was reclassified under the genus "Phebalium" in 1898 by Joseph Maiden and Ernst Betche.
