01Narrative

Hymenocallis liriosme is a North American bulb-forming herb native to Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama.Rafinesque, Constantine Samuel. 1817. Florula Ludoviciana 19.Shinners, Lloyd Herbert. 1951. Field & Laboratory 19(2): 102Tropicos, Hymenocallis liriosme (Raf.) ShinnersKew World Checklist of Selected Plant FamiliesKartesz, J.T., The Biota of North America Program (BONAP). 2014. North American Plant Atlas. (http://bonap.net/napa). Chapel Hill, N.C. [maps generated from Kartesz, J.T. 2014. Floristic Synthesis of North America, Version 1.0. Biota of North America Program (BONAP). (in press)]. Hymenocallis liriosme grows in ditches and along the edges of marshes, swamps and ponds. Common names include Texas spider-lily, western marsh spider-lily, Louisiana marsh spider-lily and spring spiderlily. It is distinguished by a prominent yellow-green eye in the center of the corona.Flora of North America, Hymenocallis liriosme Texas spiderlily – Hymenocallis liriosme

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 liriosme has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Hymenocallis liriosme 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.
