Ammocharis is a genus in the Amaryllidaceae family from Sub-Saharan Africa that has 6 species. Some species are winter growing and others are summer growing. The end of each leaves is blunt, resulting from the self-cleaving of the leaves as the plant goes into dormancy. This gives the impression that someone came through and snipped the ends of with a pair of scissors.
