Does anyone know anything about:

Hymenocallis miniatum--Thad Howard writes that this is "a red-flowered  
species from the Peruvian Andes".

A couple of places I've Googled mention that historical accounts of  
Lima, Peru describe a purple or red flowered Ismene amancaes. (A white- 
flowered variety is also mentioned.)

And while not red, besides the yellow-flowered Ismene amancaes and the  
two yellow-flowered Leptochiton species, Thad Howard also mentions a  
"light greenish yellow" flowered Ismene velardii.


I can't find any information anywhere about any of these.
