“…These approximations reference the floret’s hollow stalks, which were conveniently covered, serving as water receptacles and straws to sip maguey—or, agave—juice (CEIICH UNAM, 2022). Acocoxochitl was used as an ornamental, medicinal, and food plant (Chawla et al, 2022: 277). “In the medicine cabinet,” they were essential “for the treatment of digestion, fevers, stomach pain, flatulence, coughs, mouth sores, and colic and as a diuretic and diaphoretic.…”

“…“Having placed living dahlias in the hands of plant breeders in the horticultural centers of Europe, the portents of a new floral industry were assured,” botanist Paul D. Sorensen (1970) declared, as the dahlia became a new garden plant (137). Cavanilles’s new crops— dahlia pinnata , dahlia coccinea , and dahlia rosea— are “the major species involved in the development of new age dahlias,” fomenting the hybrids that are seen today (Chawla et al, 2022: 277). Gerald Weland (2015), author of the American Dahlia Society’s well-referenced brief, reports that “the original discoveries were single flowered types, from which, through hybridization and selective breeding, the double forms … emerged” (5).…”

“…Since then, dahlias “have been the subject of intense modification genetics that has produced more than 50,000 cultivated varieties. These have changed their characteristics by increasing the inflorescence, forms of ray flowers, diversity of colors, size of individuals, and flowering time” (Chawla et al, 2022: 277). We come across a LatinX source of life “produced as a reproduction, the origin of which is deferred ad infinitum .…”

LatinX genesis: On the origins of a mongrel species

This essay focuses its attention on Madrid, the Royal Botanical Garden (RBG), and the LatinX presence just as they were all coming into existence in the Spanish and European world. Pursuing a LatinX origin that exceeds humanness, this thought exploration tracks the Mesoamerican dahlia, transplanted to Spain in 1789. Acocoxochitl—what we now know as the dahlia, named after Swedish naturalist Andreas Dahl (1751–1789)—was one of the first plants to arrive at Madrid’s RBG when it opened nearly three centuries ago. The flower was tested on, domesticated, and acclimated, making its botanical debut as the dahlia pinnata in 1791. The dahlia is a vector for an unanticipated life form, clueing us in on where the LatinX world-in-process was heading. It offers a glimpse of how the garden and the Latin find themselves arranged and come into being. How LatinX history is blurred—and how LatinX difference has been produced—in Madrid’s iconography is disentangled here. The piece weighs in on these considerations: What does it mean to think alongside the dahlia? What might the plant mean to a human whose body has been tampered with; who asymmetrically became one of Carolus Linnaeus’s Latin species; who has been “naturally” passed down to different kinds of nature; whose construction is both native and foreign; and who comes into being through a rather unnatural classificatory order?

“…Recently, some of these species have been incorporated into traditional dishes (Tang et al, 2022). In addition, a variety of Chinese dishes, such as tea, noodles, distilled wine, and snacks, use the bulbs and leaves, whereas Japanese dishes include croquettes, mixed rice, mixed jelly, stew, and other dishes (Chawla et al, 2022). Zhang et al (2023) Growing media consumption is rapidly increasing, which poses serious challenges to the sustainability of the floricultural industry (Kaushal and Kumari, 2020).…”

Addition of organo-bio-stimulants may have major impact on bio-chemical attributes of growing media and flower productivity. The current study evaluated the response of lily bulbs for growth, some bio-chemical characteristics, and flowering quality to various growing media which included sand, clay, sand: clay (1:1 v/v), or sand: clay: compost (1:1:1 v/v) supplemented with Humicil and/or Power max. Results proved that the use of growing media led to significant differences in growth, flowering, and chemical component parameters of lily plants. However, there was superiority in these traits due to planting in a medium consisting of a mixture of sand: clay: compost (1:1:1 v/v), followed by sand: clay (1:1 v/v), then clay media. On contrast, planting in sand soil was coincided with a decrease in above-mentioned characteristics compared to the other media. The addition of various organo-bio-stimulants coincided with an improvement in growth, flowering and chemical component measurements. Moreover, adding the mixture of Humicil with Power max, followed by Power max alone showed the greatest effect on improving measurements. The combination between growing media and stimulants showed a significant difference in all measurements of plant growth, flowering and chemical components of lily plants. However, the highest values of these traits coincided with the combination between a mixture of sand: clay: compost (1:1:1 v/v) with the mixture of Humicil and Power max.

“…Agapanthus africanus [L] Hoffmanns., was the first member of this genus to be discussed, and it was established by Hoffmannseg in 1824 [6,7]. Commonly named the Nile lily or African lily, and is a rhizomatous evergreen plant with fleshy roots, linear leaves, and its inflorescence is umbeluated [8,9]. The zygomorphic, bisexual, trimerous, and superior ovary flowers in this genus are distinctive, while the fruits are loculicidal capsules with winged black seeds [10].…”

Agapanthus africanus [L.], is a rhizomatous evergreen plant with fleshy roots, linear leaves, and umbellate inflorescence. It is native to southern Africa and commonly named the Nile lily or African lily. Regarding how closely related their morphologies are, the members of the genus Agapanthus have proven challenging to divide into distinct species. Additionally, no documentation was detected for the phytochemical screening, macro and micromorphology of A. africanus up to date. This inspired us to describe the macro and micromorphology of the flower, leaf, root, and rhizome of A. africanus and evaluate its phytoconstituents. This study demonstrated that A. africanus is free from any trichomes and is rich with various forms of calcium oxalate crystals, both these characteristics help to define the plant under investigation. Concomitantly, the fibrous layer of the anther, the papillosed stigma, and the ellipsoid, non-spiny pollen grains, were recorded in the morphology of the flower in this study. The phytochemical screening investigated the presence of saponins, phenolics, and flavonoids as the major constituents of the underground parts of A. africanus. As expected, this resulted in a more precise tool for taxonomical identification and species delimitation of the genus Agapanthus.
