Fritillary Totally Explained

Everything about Fritillary totally explained

ť This article is about the plants. Fritillary butterflies are several genera in the Heliconiini (subfamily Heliconiinae).

Fritillary is a genus of about 100 species of bulbous plants in the family Liliaceae, native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. They often have nodding, bell- or cup-shaped flowers, and the majority are spring-flowering. The name is from Latin fritillus, a dice-box, and probably refers to the checkered pattern, frequently of chocolate-brown and greenish yellow, that's common to many species' flowers.
Several species (such as Fritillaria cirrhosa and Fritillaria verticillata) are used in traditional Chinese cough remedies. They are listed as chuan bei or zhe bei, respectively, and are often in formulations combined with extracts of loquat.
