Vascular anatomy and morphology of the flower of Hymenocallis latifolia (Mill.) Roem. (Amaryllidaceae)

Taxonomy of Amaryllidaceae family is based on modern molecular data (Chase et al. 2016; García et al. 2019), but there is a debate among researchers about the place of some genera in subfamilies and tribes, because micromorphological features and vascular anatomy features have not been used for family taxonomy before, while they are very important and unique. That’s why we examine Hymenocallis latifolia vascular anatomy and flower morphology. Some members of the family have been studied by us before (Fishchuk and Odintsova 2020; Fishchuk 2021).
