Famatina (plant)
Famatina was a small genus of South American bulbous plants identified by the Chilean botanist Ravenna in 1972.[1] Five species have been described.[2][3] Molecular phylogenetic studies suggested the genus was polyphyletic, and species have been moved to other genera.
Taxonomy[edit]
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.[4] The first species is now placed in the genus Phycella, the others in the genus Zephyranthes.[5]
Subdivision[edit]
- Famatina andina (Phil.) Ravenna[2] – synonym of Zephyranthes tenuiflora
- Famatina cisandina Ravenna [3] – syn. of Zephyranthes cisandina
- Famatina herbertiana (Lindl.) Ravenna[1] – syn. of Zephyranthes graciliflora
- Famatina maulensis Ravenna[1] – syn. of Phycella maulensis
- Famatina saxatilis Ravenna[1] – syn. of Zephyranthes graciliflora
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Chile and Argentinean Andes in Mediterranean zones. Moreira-Muñoz considers 2 of the five species endemic to Chile.[7][8]
