Speirantha is a genus of one known species of flowering plants found in south-east China.[1] In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae (formerly the family Ruscaceae).[2]
The sole species is Speirantha gardenii, endemic to China (provinces of Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang).[3]
Speirantha is derived from Greek and means 'twisted flower' (spiral + anther).[4]
The species now called Speirantha gardenii was first described by William Jackson Hooker in 1855 as Albuca gardenii. Separately, in 1875, John Gilbert Baker described Speirantha convallarioides, based on a different type, placing it in his new genus Speirantha.[5] In 1894, Louis Antoine François Baillon synonymized Albuca gardenii and Speirantha convallarioides.[6] The older epithet gardenii has priority, so the correct name is Speirantha gardenii.[5] The type of the genus Speirantha remains the type of Speirantha convallarioides.
