Description

F. sewerzowii reaches a height of between 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.[6]

Taxonomy

First described by Regel in 1868,[1] Baker (1874), who divided Fritillaria into subgenera, placed F. sewerzowii in subgenus Korolkowia as its sole species.[7] Although some authors have treated Korolkowia as a separate genus,[8] molecular phylogenetics has shown that it is embedded within Fritillaria.[9][10]

Distribution and habitat

F. sewerzowii is found in scrub on rocky slopes or lightly wooded areas of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan at 1000–3000 metres altitude.[6]

Cultivation

F. sewerzowii is winter hardy (USDA 4-8), but requires well drained soil.[6]

gollark: I can autorestart it for you!
gollark: Well, I would autoformat it.
gollark: Yes, I would only allow this if audited code was to apiorun on the osmarks.tk computing system.
gollark: My backup systems are designed to be ☭-free and this invariant is maintained at some costs.
gollark: Well, your bot can use the token if I audit the code every update.
