The genus

A genus of southern South American amaryllidaceae that look
like small flowered Hippeastrums or multiflowered Habranthi. It has been
placed in Hippeastrum, in the former Amaryllis or even in a new genus
Rhodophiala. The foliage is very different from all known Hippeastrums and
rather resembles that of the large flowered Habranthus or Zephyranthes (i.
e., narrowly strap shaped).
