The genus

A South American amaryllid, closely related to Eustephia and Stemomasson , includes 9 species, 6 of which are found only in Ecuador, the remaining three being from Colombia, Costa Rica and Peru. The plants are characterized by having petiolated glossy green, greyish-green leaves. The flowers are produced in an umbel, most species having large tubular pink or red flowers that are variously banded in green, with anywhere from five or six flowers to fourteen or fifteen to an umbel. The exception in color is P. viridiflora, which has yellow flowers, also banded in green at the baseof the floral tube, as well as the tepal tips
