Durante muchos años exisitió confusión entre los botánicos sobre los nombres genéricos Amaryllis e Hippeastrum, y es que el nombre "amaryllis" es utilizado comunmente para las plantas cultivadas del género Hippeastrum, vendidas ampliamente en los meses de invierno por su habilidad de florecer en interiores. is native to Brazil. This species produces numerous bulbils that may be washed or broken off in nature. Because of this prolific production of bulbils, it has naturalized in tropical areas such as Hawaii. There is no special dormancy requirements to bloom this species which can occur in just 2 years from seeds.
Not a problem. I just did a search on the information that was made in the ID, and found that website I added. So I learnt something to thanks to the person that made the ID :-)
