Rhodophiala was a genus of herbaceous, perennial and bulbous plants in the Amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae). It consisted of about 30 South American species distributed in southern Brazil, Argentina, and, specially, in Chile. Most of the species are known colloquially as añañuca. It has now been submerged in Zephyranthes. Rhodophiala species resemble small-flowered Hippeastrum or multiflowered Habranthus species. Their narrow parallel-sided leaves are unlike that of Hippeastrum, more closely resembling that of Habranthus or Zephyranthes. At one stage, Rhodophiala was considered a subgenus of the closely related Hippeastrum. Although as of February 2016 not yet accepted by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families a number of species of Rhodophiala have been rehabilitated as Rhodolirium. This genus does not have any accepted species, since it is a synonym of Phycella Lindl. Former species include: Rhodophiala advena (Ker Gawl.) Traub – Central Chile Rhodophiala ananuca (Phil.) Traub – Northern Chile Rhodophiala andina Phil. – Central Chile Rhodophiala araucana (Phil.) Traub – distributed Chile to Southern Argentina Rhodophiala bagnoldii (Herb.) Traub – Northern and Central Chile Rhodophiala bakeri (Phil.) Traub – Central Chile Rhodophiala berteroana (Phil.) Traub – Central Chile Rhodophiala bifida (Herb.) Traub – distributed Southern Brazil to Argentina (Buenos Aires) Rhodophiala biflora Phil. – Chile Rhodophiala colonum (Phil.) Traub – Southern Chile Rhodophiala consobrina (Phil.) Traub – Central Chile Rhodophiala flava (Phil.) Traub – Southern Chile Rhodophiala fulgens (Hook.f.) Traub – Central Chile Rhodophiala gilliesiana (Herb.) ined. – distributed Chile to Southern Argentina Rhodophiala lineata (Phil.) Traub – Chile Rhodophiala maculata (L'Hér.) Ravenna – Chile Rhodophiala moelleri (Phil.) Traub – Southern Chile Rhodophiala montana (Phil.) Traub – Chile Rhodophiala phycelloides (Herb.) Hunz. – Chile Rhodophiala popetana (Phil.

Hippeastreae

Hippeastreae is a tribe of plants belonging to the subfamily Amaryllidoideae of the Amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae). Species in this tribe are distributed in South America. Flowers are large and showy, zygomorphic, with the stamens in varying lengths, inflorescence bracts are often fused basally (along one side). The seeds are flattened, winged or D-shaped. Reported basic chromosome numbers are x= 8-13, 17, and higher. All the species in this tribe present a remarkable aesthetic interest and horticultural value.

Amaryllidaceae

The Amaryllidaceae are a family of herbaceous, mainly perennial and bulbous (rarely rhizomatous) flowering plants in the monocot order Asparagales. The family takes its name from the genus Amaryllis and is commonly known as the amaryllis family. The leaves are usually linear, and the flowers are usually bisexual and symmetrical, arranged in umbels on the stem. The petals and sepals are undifferentiated as tepals, which may be fused at the base into a floral tube. Some also display a corona.

Amaryllidoideae

Amaryllidoideae (Amaryllidaceae s.s., amaryllids) is a subfamily of monocot flowering plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, order Asparagales. The most recent APG classification, APG III, takes a broad view of the Amaryllidaceae, which then has three subfamilies, one of which is Amaryllidoideae (the old family Amaryllidaceae), and the others are Allioideae (the old family Alliaceae) and Agapanthoideae (the old family Agapanthaceae). The subfamily consists of about seventy genera, with over eight hundred species, and a worldwide distribution.
