Amaryllis belladona L.

Syn: A. blanda Ker. Gawl

Common name: Belladonna-lily, Naked-lady-lily

Commonly cultivated bulbous perennial with generally one two naked stems arising in late summer, bearing few fragrant pink funnel-shaped pendent flowers.

The genus is not recorded in our database, some confusion because Amaryllis belladona E. Mey. ex Steud is Nom. Inval., a synonym of Hippeastrum puniceum, a more common plant.

There is no reason this popular ornamental in not grown in India. We have to find it.
