See text

Rhodophiala was a genus of herbaceous, perennial and bulbous plants in the Amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae[2]). 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.[3]

Description

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.[4]

Taxonomy

Taxonomic history

At one stage, Rhodophiala was considered a subgenus of the closely related Hippeastrum.[5]

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.[6][7]

Former species

This genus does not have any accepted species, since it is a synonym of Phycella Lindl.[1] Former species include:

  • Rhodophiala advena (Ker Gawl.) Traub – Central Chile
  • Rhodophiala ananuca (Phil.) Traub – Northern Chile
