Hippeastrum striatum, the striped Barbados lily, a flowering perennial herbaceous bulbous plant, in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to the southern and eastern regions of Brazil. [2]
The flowers, generally 2–4, are smaller than other members of the genus. The paraperigon features bristles at the throat of the tepal tube. The perigone is about 7.6–10 cm in size and the tepal segments are 2–2.5 cm broad in their middle. Their colour is a bright red with a green keel that extends halfway up the segment. The stigma is trifid. [5]
It was first described as Amaryllis striata Lam. by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in 1783. Later it was included in the genus Hippeastrum Herb. as Hippeastrum striatum (Lam.) H.E.Moore published by Harold Emery Moore in 1963. [4] [6]
he name is derived from the Latin word striatus (striped). [7]
It is native to Northeast, South, and Southeast Brazil. It has been introduced to Caroline Islands and Hawaii. [4]
Produces numerous bulbils that facilitate its escape and naturalisation in tropical areas. It will grow from seeds in about two years. [5]

Hippeastrum is a genus of about 90 species, and over 600 hybrids and cultivars, of perennial, herbaceous and bulbous plants, native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, from Mexico south to Argentina and on some islands in the Caribbean. The majority have large, fleshy bulbs—usually about the size of a softball—and tall, broad, strap-like leaves that are (generally) evergreen, and large red or purple flowers. Numerous colors and cultivars have been created over the past hundred years.
Scilla luciliae is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. It is referred to by the common names Bossier's glory-of-the-snow or Lucile's glory-of-the-snow, and is a bulbous perennial from western Turkey that flowers in early spring. After flowering, it goes into dormancy until the next spring. The specific epithet is in honour of Lucile, the wife of the Swiss botanist Pierre Edmond Boissier (1810-1885). It belongs to a group of Scilla species that were formerly put in a separate genus, Chionodoxa, and may now be treated as Scilla sect. Chionodoxa.
