Phakathi kwabathandi bezitshalo zasendlini, i-aspidistra ithokozela udumo lwamasiko aqinile kakhulu futhi amancane. Lesi sihlali sezindawo ezishisayo zase-Eshiya sikwazi ukubekezelela isikhathi eside sesomiso, ukuhlelwa okubonakalayo kwezinye izitshalo nomoya owomile, amazinga okushisa amancane angaphansi kwe-zero kanye nokugcwala kwamanzi kwenhlabathi njalo ngaphandle kokulahleka okubonakalayo.
Cishe ikhulu leminyaka elidlule, iYurophu neMelika zathola ukuqina kwangempela okuhlobene nokuthandwa kwesitshalo. Kepha ezinkulungwaneni zezinhlobo ze-aspidistra ezisavulekile nanamuhla, izimbali zezimbali ngisho nangaleso sikhathi futhi manje zikhula kuphela ingxenye encane yezinhlobo zalesi siko lamahlamvu okuhlobisa okuthokomele, ngesinye isikhathi zifisa umnini wazo ngezimbali ezihlobisa kancane, kodwa ezingavamile.
I-Aspidistra elator, ende noma i-wideleaf (A. elatior)
Ukuhlukaniswa kwezinhlobo ze-aspidistra kusaqhubeka nezinguquko. Izinhlobo ezintsha zingeniswa kuwo, ama-subspecies ahlanganiswa noma ahlukaniswe. Kepha izinhlobo ezifundwa kakhulu nezidumile kakhulu ze-aspidistra uhlobo olude noma oludumile oluboniswe esithombeni.
Ekuqaleni, iChina ibithathwa njengendawo okuzalelwa kuyo lezi zinhlobo zezilwane, kodwa ngasekupheleni kwekhulu lokugcina, izinhlobo ezinjalo zokudla ezikhula zasendle zazitholakala eziqhingini eziningi zaseJapan. Lesi sitshalo sahlukaniswa okokuqala njenge-lurida aspidistra, kepha namuhla izinhlobo zihlanganisiwe.
Ngakho-ke, i-elatior evezwe esithombeni se-aspidistra kubhekiswa kuyo njengezincwadi ezinde noma ezibanzi.
Ngempela, lolu hlobo lwesitshalo lunamaqabunga abanzi anesikhumba, lukhula ngokuqondile luvela empandeni futhi lukhuphuka ngaphezu kwezinga lomhlabathi, kuya ngezinhlobonhlobo ze-aspidistra, ngamasentimitha angama-30-60. Ingxenye engaphansi yesitshalo iqukethe i-rhizome eyinhloko, etholakala ngqo ngaphansi kobuso bomhlaba noma ivele ebusweni bawo, nezimpande ezincane ezengeziwe. I-rhizome enempilo enamanzi ye-aspidistra inobubanzi obuyi-5 kuye ku-10 mm, igqinsiwe futhi ingakwazi ukuthola indawo enhle esitshalweni esidala.
Amaqabunga e-Lanceolate noma oblong kwezinye izikhathi afinyelela kubude obungama-50 cm, kanti i-petiole yawo ikhula ibe ngu-35 cm. Ububanzi beqabunga buyi-6-10 cm.
Ipuleti leshidi lilukhuni, lugcwele satjani. Ama-aspidistra ahlukahlukene kakhulu atholakala emvelweni futhi akhiqizwa ngentshiseko ngamahlamvu anemigqa noma anebala athandwa kakhulu namuhla.
I-Aspidistra wideleaf, njengasesithombeni, ziyaqhakaza, zakha izimbali ezi-brownish-brown eyodwa ezinobude obungaba ngu-2 cm. Isimbali singaba namapheshana ama-2 kuye kwangama-4.
Ngaphakathi kwe-corolla eminyene enamanzi kukhona kusuka ku-6 kuya ku-8 stamens kanye ne-pestle enjenge-mushroom enobubanzi obufika ku-8 mm. Ngokwemvelo, ama-elatior aspidistra blooms kusuka ngoJanuwari kuya ku-Ephreli, lapho kuqala imvula esifundeni sase-Asia. Ngemuva kwalokho, esikhundleni sezimbali, kwakheka izithelo eziluhlaza okotshani noma onsundu-onsundu.
Izinhlobo ze-aspidistra noma i-Aspidistra Variegata enemibala ekhanyayo noma enamabala aphuzi, njengezinkanyezi ezingemuva kwepuleti leqabunga, noma ngemivimbo nemidweshu ehlukile, zithandwa kakhulu.
Lokhu kwenza ukuthi i-aspidistra ephezulu ifuneke kangaka futhi ithandwe. Abafuyi banikela ngezinhlobo eziyishumi eziningana ze-aspidistra, njengasesithombeni, ezinamaqabunga ezinobukhulu obuhlukahlukene, bobunjwa nemibala.
I-Aspidistra Attenuata (A. Attenuata)
Ukuvela kwe-attenuata aspidistra evela emahlathini ezintaba zaseTaiwan kusikhumbuza kakhulu i-aspidistra ebanzi. Kepha yatholakala emuva kweminyaka eyikhulu, ngo-1912.
Lesi sitshalo sinezindilinga ezinwabuzelayo, eziyindilinga ngesiphambano esigabeni esingamasentimitha ayi-1. Ikhula emhlabathini wehlathi osetshenzisiwe, lolu hlobo lwe-aspidistra, njengasesithombeni, lwakha amakhethini aminyene. Amacembe amnyama angahlotshiswa ngezindawo ezincane ezikhanyayo. Ama-petioles angama-30-40 cm ubude, futhi i-reverse lanceolate blade blade ingafinyelela kuhafu wemitha. Ububanzi bephepha bancane kakhulu futhi bu malunga ne-8 cm.
Ukuqhakaza kwezinhlobo ezikhula zasendle ze-aspidistra, njengasesithombeni, akukuhle kakhulu. Lesi sitshalo sakha izimbali ezinobubanzi obungafika ku-5 cm, sinama-broker ama-3-5. I-nimbus eyakheke insimbi inombala onsomi, kuyilapho amacembe angaba mhlophe noma aluhlaza okotshani. Ngaphakathi imbali isuka ku-7 kuye ku-8 stamens kanye ne-pistil enobubanzi obufika ku-5 mm. Ukuqhakaza kwezimbali, ikakhulukazi i-aspidistra enemibala ehlukahlukene, kuthakazelisa kakhulu futhi kuyakhanya.
Isikhathi sokuqhakaza salolu hlobo lwe-aspidistra siqala ngoJuni, kungekudala izithelo ziyavela.
I-aspidistra enezimbali ezinkulu (A. Grandiflora)
Lolu hlobo lwe-aspidistra lusanda kutholwa eVietnam, futhi lesi sitshalo sakhanga ukunaka kwabathandi amasiko ashisayo. Isizathu asikashadi, kuze kube amaqabunga ama-obovate amade angama-80 cm anezici ezihlukanayo epuletini, kanye nokuqhakaza okumangalisayo kwe-aspidistra.
Kuvela izimbali ezimbili noma ezintathu ezimpandeni zesitshalo maphakathi nehlobo, eziphenduka izimbali ezinobubanzi obungu-2 kuya ku-4. AmaCorollas anombala onsomi agcinwa ezihlahleni ezinwabuzelayo ezingamasentimitha ayi-5 ubude. I-petal ngayinye ine-appendage emhlophe emhlophe enemiphetho emnyama onsomi, okwenza izimbali zezinhlobonhlobo ze-aspidistra ezethulwe esithombeni zihlukile ngempela.
Ngaphakathi imbali kukhona ama-aspidistra, njengoba esithombeni sifana nesicabucabu esishisayo, ama-11 noma ama-12 stamens afinyelela ku-3 mm ubude. Iphayiphu elakhiwe ngohlobo lwediski elisefomini linobude obungu-3 mm nobubanzi obungafika ku-5 mm.
Endle, izimbali ezingenhla kwenhlabathi yomhlabathi zivela ngoJulayi. Ekhaya, izimbali azihambi njalo futhi kuncike kakhulu ekunakekelweni kwe-aspidistra.
I-Aspidistra Sichuan (A. Sichuanensis)
Indawo okwazalelwa kuyo le nhlobo ye-aspidistra ihlathi lama China bamboo, lapho ngamamitha angama-500 kuya kwangama-1100 ngaphezu kogu lolwandle, lesi sitshalo sakha imisebe ebanzi kakhulu.
Le nhlobo ye-aspidistra, esithombeni, inezinambuzane ezinamandla ezinwabuzelayo ezinobubanzi obufika ku-12 mm namaqabunga angabodwa okufinyelela ku-70 amasentimitha ukuphakama. Ipuleti lamaqabunga elinendawo yokuphuma ye-arc lihlukaniswa ngombala oluhlaza obukhulu noma obonakalayo futhi likhula lize lisho amasentimitha angama-35. Ububanzi beqabunga le-lanceolate noma i-elliptical-lanceolate lisuka ku-4 liye ku-8 cm. I-petiole, ngokuya ngezinhlobonhlobo, ingafinyelela ubude obuyi-10 kuye kuma-40 cm.
Ukuqhakaza kwezinhlobo zaseChinese ze-aspidistra kwehla ngoJanuwari kuya kuMashi. Izimbali zinamathiselwe empandeni ngosizo lwesiqu esisuka ku-5 kuye ku-50 mm ubude. Ngaphakathi komphetho obunjwe ngensimbi enamacembe ayisithupha, kukhona ama-stamens angama-6-8 kanye ne-pestle enkulu yokholomu enobubanzi obungafika ku-12 mm.
Uma kuqhathaniswa ne-elatior aspidistra, izimbali zalokhu okuhlukahlukene, njengasesithombeni, zincane futhi zimnyama, cishe ngombala omnyama.
I-Aspidistra Oblancepholia (A. assanceifolia)
Olunye uhlobo lwe-aspidistra evela eChina nalo luhlukaniswa ngezimbali ezincane, kepha lesi akusona ukuphela kwesici. Inamaqabunga amancanyana e-reverse lanceolate, ububanzi bawo bungama-2,5-3 cm kuphela.
Ngaphezu kwamafomu anamaqabunga aluhlaza, kunezinhlobonhlobo ze-aspidistra, njengasesithombeni, ezinamahlamvu aluhlaza okotshani.
I-Aspidistra guanjou (A. Guangxiensis)
Esithombeni esiveziwe, ama-aspidistra athambile kunobukhulu, ama-5mm kuphela ubukhulu, anama-rhizomes ama-scaly namaqabunga angashani wesimo se-ovoid noma se-elliptical. Ipuleti lamacembe amade angama-20 cm lihlala ku-petiole ende ekhula ibe ngamasentimitha angama-40. Ishidi ngokwalo alilikhulu njengelezinye izinhlobo. Kepha kupuleti ebanzi, amabala aphuzi, asakazeke ngokungenamkhawulo, avame ukutholakala ezitshalweni zalolu hlobo lwendabuko yaseChina, abonakala kahle.
NgoMeyi, emhlabathini eduze kwe-aspidistra, njengasesithombeni, ungabona izimbali ezizodwa, ezingafani kakhulu eziboshwe ngububanzi obungamasentimitha ayi-5. Ama-corollas ama-brown-violet ama-jugged ahlanganisiwe anamathele kumazinyane angaba ngu-4-5 cm, kanti ukuphuma kwawo okude kufana nalelo le-aspidistra enezimbali ezinkulu kungabonakala kuwo wonke amacembe ayisishiyagalombili.
