Thanks to Lee Poulsen for his synopsis of the recent proposed revision
in American Amaryllidaceae. I'll see if I can access the paper itself
but probably not. Some of the details Lee listed make intuitive sense to
me. (Despite the title of the thread, I can't see that Rhodophiala has
been subsumed under Zephyranthes.) Eremolirion is a rather nice name for
Rhodophiala laeta ("sand lily"), though its habitat is not as sandy as
that of several others. As for Myostemma, I'm not relabeling my
Rhodophiala photos yet but will keep it in mind. Even though I can't
grow these plants, I love to see them in nature.
