Caliphruria Herb. is a genus in the Amaryllidaceae family with 4 species native to northern Peru and low montane forests in Colombia. It is closely related to Eucharis in the Eucharideae tribe. In 2025 some authorities include it in Urceolina Rchb. Only two species are common in cultivation.
Caliphruria korsakoffii (Traub) Meerow was transferred to the genus Stenomesson by Meerow et al. 2020
Caliphruria subedentata Baker, syn. Urceolina subedentata (Baker) Traub, syn. Eucharis fosteri Traub, is native to northwestern Colombia. This plant should be grown like a former Eucharis with good warm temps and filtered sunlight. Flowering is unpredictable, and probably requires a dryish winter dormancy. The flowers do not seem to have a scent. Photos 1-2 were taken in July 2003 by Lee Poulsen of plants given to him by Charles Hardman. Charles says it's easier to flower than Eucharis x grandiflora. Height range: 2-3.3 ft. Photos 3-4 from Hans Joschko.
The photos 4-6 were taken by Nhu Nguyen of plants grown by Uluwehi Knecht.
