Famatina was a small genus of South American bulbous plants identified by the Chilean botanist Ravenna in 1972. Five species have been described. Molecular phylogenetic studies suggested the genus was polyphyletic, and species have been moved to other genera.




Taxonomy


Molecular phylogenetic studies suggested the genus was polyphyletic. Of four species examined, one (F. maulensis) segregated in a clade together with members of the Traubiinae subtribe, while the remaining three (F. andina, F. cisandina, and F. herbertiana) segregated with members of subtribe Hippeastrinae. The first species is now placed in the genus Phycella, the others in the genus Zephyranthes.
