Solenomelus
Genus of flowering plants in the iris family Iridaceae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solenomelus is a genus of South American (Argentina & Chile)[1] species of flowering plants in the family Iridaceae. They are very closely allied to Sisyrinchium with rhizomes, flowers with a perianth tube and a style that is not divided and a single capitate stigma. The genus name is derived from the Greek words solen, meaning "tube", and melos, meaning "member".[2]
