Rhodophiala
Rhodophiala is a genus of herbaceous, perennial and bulbous plants in the Amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae). It consists of about 30 South American species distributed in southern Brazil, Argentina, and, specially, in Chile.
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".
