01Narrative

Hymenocallis rotata (streambank spiderlily) is a plant in the family Amaryllidaceae, endemic to the north-central portions of the US state of Florida.Biota of North America Program 2013 county distribution map It is found along the banks of spring-fed streams in the region.Flora of North America vol 26 p 290. The species is a perennial herb with rhizomatous bulbs, with showy flowers that open in late Spring and early Summer. The shape of the staminal corona is distinctive within the genus, rotate rather than the more common funnel-shaped, white with a yellow-green eye near the center.Ker Gawler, John Bellenden. Pancratium rotatum. Botanical Magazine 21: pl. 827. 1805.

05DNA & barcoding1 specimens

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 rotata has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Hymenocallis rotata 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.

09Environmental DNA1 detections

Where the DNA of Hymenocallis rotata was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How strong is each trace?

DNA read depthRead counts were not reported for this species — the map shows presence only, not how strong each trace was.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
