本文讲述又称为天堂鸟的单子叶植物,关于称为天堂鸟的鸟类另见极乐鸟。 鶴望蘭(学名:Strelitzia reginae),又稱天堂鳥或極樂鳥花,为鹤望兰科鹤望兰属物种,是原產南非的一種單子葉植物。它們學名是為紀念英王喬治三世王妃夏洛特皇后而取的。 鶴望蘭花 鶴望蘭可以生長達2米高,有大而壯的葉子,長25-70厘米及闊10-30厘米,葉柄長達1米。葉子常綠及分成兩排,呈扇形。花朵在長的莖端上長出。肉穗花序硬及像鳥喙,由於垂直於莖,彷彿一個鳥頭。它足以支撐在花朵上吃花蜜的太陽鳥科。花朵有三塊鮮艷橙色的萼片,及三塊紫藍色的瓣。其中兩瓣是聯合的,形成像箭的蜜管。當太陽鳥科坐在上面吃花蜜時,花瓣會張開,並將花粉蓋在鳥腳上。 在花藝插花藝術方面,天堂鳥是材料之一。 外部連結 维基共享资源中相关的多媒体资源:鹤望兰 Strelitzia reginae Banks Floridata: Strelitzia reginae homelovers - Strelitzia reginae 鹤望兰棚室栽培技术 取自“https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=鹤望兰&oldid=52109398” 分类: 鶴望蘭屬 1789年描述的植物 隐藏分类: 物种微格式条目 含有拉丁語的條目
