Rhodophiala is a genus of herbaceous, perennial and bulbous plants in the Amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae[2]). 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 the hippeastrum, more closely resembling that of Habranthus or Zephyranthes.[3]
Taxonomy
At one stage, Rhodophiala was considered a subgenus of the closely related Hippeastrum.[4]
