Eustephia is a genus of South American plants in the Amaryllis family. All 6 known species are native to Peru, with the range of one species extending also into Bolivia. [3] [4] [5] [6]
Eustephia are bulbous plants with linear leaves. [7]
The pendent to declinate, tubular flowers display green colouration towards the tip. [8]
The chromosome count is 2n = 46. [8]
It was published by Antonio José Cavanilles in 1795 with Eustephia coccineaCav. as the type species. [2]
Several names have been coined using the name Eustephia but referring to species now considered better suited to other genera ( Hieronymiella or Phycella ). Here are links to help you find appropriate information
