Zephyranthes
''Zephyranthes'' 〔''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607〕 is a genus of temperate and tropical plants in the Amaryllis family, native to the Western Hemisphere and widely cultivated as ornamentals. There are over 70 recognized species〔Mabberly, D.J. 1987. ''The Plant Book''. Cambridge University Press.〕 species in the Amaryllis family (subfamily Amaryllidoideae). as well as numerous hybrids and cultivars. Common names for species in this genus include fairy lily, rainflower, zephyr lily, magic lily, Atamasco lily, and rain lily.
The name is derived from Ζέφυρος (''Zephyrus''), the Greek god of the west wind, and ἄνθος (''anthos''), meaning flower, referring to the slender stalks.〔(Zephyranthes etymologies ), Wordnik, accessed February 23, 2010, citing Century Dictionary〕
== Taxonomy ==
According to Meerow ''et al.'', cladistics suggests that the genus is native to the Americas. Several species have become naturalized (sometimes unintentionally) in other places like Hawaii, Indonesia, and Thailand. The species that are native to the higher altitudes in Mexico (e.g. ''Z. lindleyana'', Central America (Costa Rica, e.g. ''Z. carinata'') and parts of North America (e.g. ''Z. longifolia'') or Argentina (e.g. ''Z. candida'') represent the species having the greatest potential for cold hardiness.
