ʻO ka hoʻomohala koʻikoʻi o ka honua a me kona mau kihi ʻae ʻole i hāʻawi ʻia i kahi kanaka i kahi hālāwai me nā mea kupaianaha maikaʻi loa. I waena o lākou, ʻo Strelitzia, ka ho'ākāka a me nā manaʻo i hiki ke komo i ka poʻe botanist ma ka manawa o ka kenekulia 19.
Kekahi ʻano liʻiliʻi o Strelitzia a i ʻole ʻo Strelitzia no Aferika Hema, kahi i makemake nui ʻia ai kēia mau perennials e noho nui ma ka ʻāina panonu ka lā, a me ke aniani polū ma lalo o nā kumulāʻau nui. ʻO nā mea hele a hoʻokalakupua i nā ʻāina mamao ʻaʻole hiki ʻole ke ʻike e ʻike i nā mea kanu me nā kaila, a me ka paʻakikī, e like me nā poʻo o nā manu ʻano ʻē. I ka wā mua, ʻo "strelitzia" hoʻomohala "ka poʻe haole mai ʻEulopa, a laila mai ka hema mai o Aferika i hāʻule lākou i ka Old World.
ʻO ka inoa o ka pua i ka mea e mahalo ʻia ai ʻo Charlotte-Sofia Mecklenburg-Strelitskaya. No laila, ʻaʻole i hoʻopili wale nei ka poʻe botani Pelekane i ko lākou mōʻīwahine, akā ua hōʻike aku lākou i kona mahalo iā ia no kona makemake ʻana i ka ʻepekema a me ka wehe i Kew, ʻo ia ka nui o ka māla botanika i kēia manawa.
ʻO ka Hoʻākāka ʻO Strelitzia
Aia nā lā a pau i kēia wā ʻo strelitzia he mau pālani ākea ākea me ka ʻaoʻao ikaika ma luna o kahi papahele a me ka pūnaehana kumu. Mahalo i nā aʻa i kolo, ua hana maikaʻi ʻia ka mea kanu me ka nele o ka mānoanoa. ʻO nā lau o kekahi ʻano o ka strelitzia ka like me ka lau o ka lau, akā ma nā wahi māla e maloʻo nā lau o nā ʻano lau, lilo i ka ʻūhā like ʻole a nalowale paha, e hoʻololi ana i ka mea kanu i kahi lapalapa i kālai ʻia i uhi ʻia me ka wili panala. ʻO ka hoʻoluʻu ʻO Strelitzia kona mau kālā, e hoʻohui ana mai 5 a 7 mau pua ʻulaʻulaʻula.
ʻO ka strelitzia ka nui loa, e like me nā wehewehe o nā ʻano, hiki i ke kiʻekiʻe o 10 mau mika. Ke ulu nei i loko o kahi lumi, koho nā māka o ka South Africa Republic, Australia a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe i mau ʻano hou a ʻano nui a hoʻoulu hoʻi lākou e loaʻa nā ʻano mua a me nā mea kanu liʻiliʻi.
ʻAno Aliʻi (Strelitzia reginae)
ʻO ka mea mua o ka wehe a wehewehe ʻia i nā ʻano o strelitzia i loaʻa i ka inoa aliʻi. Ua lilo kaulana kekahi mea kanu i ka ʻĀpana Hema ʻaʻole i Europa wale nō, akā ma New World. Ua hana ʻo Los Angeles i ka pua i kona hōʻailona ola. A pane mai ka aliʻi aliʻi o ka strelitzia no ke kaona o ka mea i hoʻi a no ka manawa lōʻihi loa me ka pua ʻole.
Kūkulu nā mea kanu i loko o ka moʻomeheu pot i ke kiʻekiʻe a hiki i ka manawa 1-1,5 mika. ʻO ka oval a i ʻole ka lihi ʻihiʻu paha, me ka lōʻihi o 40 a i kahi kahe a hiki i 30 cm, e hoʻonohonoho ʻia i ʻelua lālani, loaʻa i kahi ʻalaka, a me nā aniani a me nā petiole lōʻihi e ulu ana a hiki i 60 cm. Ua hūnā ʻia ka rhizome ikaika ma lalo o ka lepo, me ke kōkua o nā pua e hoʻomoʻi aku ai.
Nā Inflorescences, ma kahi huna i hūnā ʻia me nā lei momona greenish-brown, i loko o nā pua me nā lei melemele a me nā ʻulaʻula puru-violet. Me ka mālama pono, hiki i ka nui o nā pua i hiki ke 10-15 cm, a hoʻokahi hiki ke hahai i ka pua o ka pūnāwai. Wahi a ka wehewehe, hiki ʻole i ka strelitzia ke nalowale a hiki i ka malama hoʻokahi, ʻoiai nā pua e kūleʻa maikaʻi loa ke ʻoki ʻia.
Ke koho ʻana i kahi Strelitzia aliʻi i loko o kahi hale kūʻai, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kekahi inoa ʻē aʻe - kahi palu Strelitzia liʻiliʻi loa a i ʻole ʻo Strelitzia Parvifolia. ʻO kēia kahi āpau a me ka hua like, e noʻonoʻo i ka mea maikaʻi loa no ka ulu ʻana o ka home.
No ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i nā hōʻiliʻili o nā māla, ua hoʻomohala ʻia ʻo Mandela Gold ma ʻAwelika Hema me nā pua melemele-uliuli ʻole no nā mea kanu ulu a me ka pua ʻelua.
Strelitzia Nicholas (ʻOlia akuoleoleololai)
Hiki ke kapa ʻia ʻo Strelitzia me ke pua aliʻi. ʻAʻole wale ka ʻohana piha a me ka mea mua i loaʻa i nā inoa o ka Pelekane Pelekane, kekahi mea ʻē aʻe o ka pua e hoʻomaka ai ka inoa ma ka hanohano o Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich, ka mea i mahalo nui ʻia e ke aupuni kanu a me nā kahu ʻāpono iā St. Petersburg Botanical Garden.
E like me ka hōʻike ʻana mai, hiki i kēia ʻano strelitzia ke kūpono i nā mea kanu nui loa. No laila, ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha no ka hana hulu hipa me nā mea pollinators ma ke kūlohelohe, a ma loko o ka moʻomeheu pot he pua hoʻohua pono ʻia ka pua.
Ke ulu nei nā mea kanu i kahi o 10 mau mika ke kiʻekiʻe e like me ka maiʻa, i hoʻopili i ke ʻano o ka inoa kaulana ʻo Strelitzia. ʻO ka lōʻihi loa, ma nā pahu peti maloʻo ikaika e hoʻohana ʻia e ka lehulehu no ka hana ʻana i nā pā, nā kaula, nā hali.
I ka pūnāwai, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā lāʻau pāma, i hoʻonani ʻia me nā inflorescences keʻokeʻo-ʻulaʻula i loko i ka poni, greenish-red hard stipules.
Mauna kea (Strelitzia caudata)
He ʻano mauna kekahi ʻano o ka strelitzia. I ka nui, ua wiwo ʻole ʻo ia me nā kumu o ke anu. Hiki ke ulu ka mea kanu lāʻau i ka 10 mika kiʻekiʻe. Ke ulu nui nei, ʻikea ka hapa o lalo o ke ʻōpala, e hoʻohālike nei ka mea kanu me kahi maiʻa maʻamau a i ʻole nā lāʻau pāma.
E like me nā mea i hōʻike ʻia ma mua, nā pua o ka strelitzia mauna i nā lei a me nā aniani o nā momi i loko. Hoʻopili ʻia nā corollas mai lalo mai i kekahi mau ʻāpana a uhi ʻia i nā kapa ʻulaʻula a ʻulaʻula a i ʻole ka hapalua mika.
Reed Strelitzia (Strelitzia juncea)
ʻOkoʻa loa kēia ʻano o Strelitzia mai ka wehewehe ʻana o nā ʻano nui. ʻAʻole wale ka hihia i loko o kahi kāʻei iʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi, akā i ka hiʻohiʻona o ka mea kanu. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka nānā ʻana i ka wao nahele mai ka hikina o ʻApelika Hema i kahi lōʻihi maloʻo a, ʻaʻole like me nā strelitzias ʻē aʻe, ʻae i kahi hoʻohaʻahaʻa maikaʻi i loko o ka wai liʻiliʻi.
ʻO nā pua ʻoni-violet o ka reed strelitzia he mea hoʻomanaʻo nui ia o ka pua o nā ʻano aliʻi. Akā, ʻaʻole e ʻae nā hiʻohiʻona o nā moa i ka hoʻopunipuni ʻana i kēia mau mea kanu. Kahi ʻia ka rosette mānoʻino ʻia e elongated, wax-coated leaf-needles, ʻaʻole loa o nā lau lau a ulu i ka lōʻihi o 1.5-2 mau mika.
Ma muli o ka nui o ka noi i waena o nā mea ulu o nā pua mai nā wahi a pau o ke ao, ke ʻano o ka strelitzia, i ka wehewehe ʻana i ka mea i kau ʻia ma luna nei, aia nō i kahi pōʻino. No ka hoʻouluulu pua, ua hoʻohana nā mea kanu i ka bioculture, nā ʻano mea kanu a me ka pollination kiʻi e loaʻa nā hua.
Kūpono Keokeo (Strelitzia alba)
Ma ka ʻāina o Cape, ʻike ʻoe i nā mea kanu hihiu o kekahi mau ʻano kaulana ʻē aʻe. ʻO kēia mau nui, me nā ʻāpana lignified a me nā lau elliptical lōʻihi o Strelitzia keʻokeʻo a me Augustus paha. Hoʻokahi manawa i hoʻokahi makahiki, mai nā umauma o nā lau, puka mai nā ulu mua o nā pua keʻokeʻo, hūnā ʻia no ka manawa i loko o nā lei lanceolate bract.
Hoʻōla ka pua mai ka lā Mei a hiki i ka waena o ke kauwela, aʻo nā kīwī a hiki i ka 15-18 cm ka lōʻihi ʻaʻole e pau, e hāʻawi i ke ola i nā hua pahu e hānai i ka hopena o ka hoʻoilo. E like me reed strelitzia, pono ʻo ia pili pili nui i ka pale o ke kanaka a helu ʻia i loko o ka Red Book of South Africa Plants.
