Elegance

              Commonly known as Hellebores, members of the genus Helleborus comprise approximately 20 species (ongoing fieldwork may see this figure change) of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the family Ranunculaceae, within which it gave its name to the tribe of Helleboreae. Many species are poisonous.
The genus is native to much of Europe, from western Great Britain, Spain and Portugal, eastward across the Mediterranean region and central Europe into Romania and Ukraine, and along the north coast of Turkey into the Caucasus. The greatest concentration of species occurs in the Balkans. One atypical species (H. thibetanus) comes from western China; another atypical species (H. vesicarius) inhabits a small area on the border between Turkey and Syria.

Helleborus è un genere della famiglia delle Ranunculaceae, noto col nome comune di elleboro; originario dell'Europa, Caucaso e Asia Minore.
I fiori dell'elleboro sono formati da 5 sepali che sono diversamente colorati ed assumono spesso un aspetto petaloide. Questi sepali circondano e proteggono dei nettari che derivano dalla trasformazione dei veri petali. I sepali rimangono persistenti dopo l'impollinazione e studi condotti in Spagna suggeriscono che il calice persistente possa contribuire allo sviluppo dei semi .
