The genus
La plupart des espèces de ce genre provient du "paradis des bulbes", le Namaqualand (Afrique de Sud). Son nom, traduit du Grec, signifie "fleur de nuit", parce que ses fleurs ne s'ouvrent qu'avec le coucher du soleil. Elles sont généralement blanches et délicieusement parfumées afin d'attirer les pollinisateurs nocturnes. A cause de la petite taille des bulbes, il est conseillé de les cultiver en pot.
