Rare Plant Profile \u2013 Rose Mandarin, Streptopus lanceolatus<\/em> (Aiton) Reveal<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Rose mandarin (Streptopus lanceolatus<\/em> (Aiton) Reveal), also known as rosy twisted-stalk [1], is a perennial herb in the Liliaceae Family. It has simple or occasionally branched, erect stems between 10-80 cm tall [2].  It is distinguished from a similar, more common species, S. amplexifolius<\/em>, by a sparse fringe of hairs at each node [2,3]. Its leaf blades are egg-shaped, with pointed tips, 3-10 cm long, 1-5 cm wide, stalkless, and either smooth-edged or fringed with several-celled hairs [4]. Bell-shaped, stalked flowers from leaf axils are 6-10 cm long, with 6 tepals slightly curving outward from their tip. As the common name implies, flowers are rose-coloured with white tips, or white to greenish yellow, with reddish purple spots or streaks [5]. Flowers mature into red berries, 5-9 mm diameter, each containing several seeds [6]. Rose mandarin grows in moist, coniferous and deciduous woods [2,7].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While rose mandarin\u2019s conservation status rank is Secure<\/em> in BC, Ontario, New Brunswick, Canada and globally, it is ranked as S1, or Critically Imperiled <\/em>in Alberta [8]. This is likely due to this species being at the periphery of its range in Alberta and may be threatened by changes in forested land cover and land use, forest habitat fragmentation, and forest management practices [1,9].<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
