Abstract

In bulbs of Colchicum tunicatum at 15°C, the longer the daylength the earlier the flowering and the higher the percentage of flowering plants. Similar results were obtained in Sternbergia clusiana another hysteranthous geophyte, from populations inhabiting the Negev Desert, when bulbs were exposed to constant 18 h long days in comparison to natural daylength from 12.5 to 10 h, or constant short days of 9 h. -from Author
