List of Alstroemeria species information


Flowers of Alstroemeria aurea derived from plants grown in Tasmania, Australia.

Alstroemeria[1] is a South American genus belonging to the Alstroemeria family, composed of 124 species distributed from southern Venezuela to southern Argentina and Chile.

The genus was named by Carl Linnaeus in honor of his friend, the Swedish botanist Clas Alströmer, who was the first to collect seeds of these species in South America and send them to Europe in 1753.

Alstroemeria plants are tuberous or rhizomatous and perennial. Each erect stem has a foliage of a few lanceolate leaves and ends in an umbel of 3 to 10 flowers. These have 6 tepals with markings and patches of contrasting colors. The basic chromosome number of the genus is x = 8.[2][3][4]
