(a.) Of or pertaining to a natural order of which the lily, tulip, and hyacinth are well-known examples.
(a.) Like the blossom of a lily in general form.
Example Sentences:
(1) Large quantities of intact generative cells and their protoplasts were isolated from pollen protoplasts of four liliaceous plants, and their structural features were investigated.
(2) Morex) stems and leaf sheaths, was used to elucidate the chemical structures of several oligomeric fructans extracted from liliaceous and graminaceous species.
(3) The premeiotic and meiotic stages are described in the pollen mother cells of the liliaceous plant Eremurus.
(4) XET was detected in extracts of the growing portions of dicotyledons, monocotyledons (graminaceous and liliaceous) and bryophytes.
Squill
Definition:
(n.) A mantis.
(n.) A European bulbous liliaceous plant (Urginea, formerly Scilla, maritima), of acrid, expectorant, diuretic, and emetic properties used in medicine. Called also sea onion.
(n.) Any bulbous plant of the genus Scilla; as, the bluebell squill (S. mutans).
(n.) A squilla.
Example Sentences:
(1) Red squill bulbs, with reported specific rodenticidal properties, have been assayed for their content of the two main glycosides, scilliroside and scillaren A, by a method depending on the separation of the glycosides from purified plant extracts by tlc followed by spectrophotometric (uv and visible) determination of the individual glycosides in the eluates.
(2) The structure of sinistrin from red squill (Urginea maritima) was determined by methylation analysis and 13C NMR spectroscopy, using the fructans from Pucinella peisonis and quack-grass (Agropyron repens) as reference substances.
(3) The method was found convenient for assessment of the potency of red squill bulbs.
(4) In a randomized, controlled, double-blind study 2 groups of 7 patients each with coronary heart disease received either 1 mg methylproscillaridin (MP) a cardiac glycoside of the squill intravenously, or placebo to test the inotropic effect of MP.
