01Narrative

Hymenocallis crassifolia Herbert, William. An Appendix: (General index to the Botanical magazine, vol. 43-48 containing a treatise on bulbous roots) 44. 1821. is a plant in the Amaryllidaceae. Common name is coastal Carolina spiderlily. It is known from wetlands in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant FamiliesBiota of North America Program 2013 county distribution map It is distinguished from other species of the genus by its stiff, coriaceous, liguliform leaves.Flora of North America vol 26, p 288.

05DNA & barcodingmolecular

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Hymenocallis crassifolia has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Hymenocallis crassifolia carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.

Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged

2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.
