Nerine
Nerine is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family, subfamily Amaryllidoideae. Native to South Africa, there are about 30 species in the genus. Though described as lilies, they are not significantly related to the true lilies Lilium, but more closely resemble their relatives, Amaryllis and Lycoris. They are bulbous perennials, some evergreen, associated with rocky and arid habitats. They bear spherical umbels of lily-like flowers in shades from white through pink to crimson. In the case of deciduous species, the flowers may appear on naked stems before the leaves develop. The genus name derives from one of the Nereids of Greek myth. Nerines have been widely cultivated and much hybridized worldwide, especially N. bowdenii and N. sarniensis. The hybrid cultivar 'Zeal Giant' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. The Nerines are a New Zealand band which is named after this flower.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
